2 Corinthians 5 For we know, that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, that we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For we know, that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, that we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this we grone earnestly, desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: ³ If so be that being unclothed, we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For we that are in this tabernacle do grone, being burdened: inasmuch as we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up of life. ⁵ Now he that worketh us for the selfsame thing, [is] God, who hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. ⁶ Therefore [we] are always confident, knowing that whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from God. ⁷ For we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ We are confident, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with God. ⁹ Wherefore we labour, that whether present or absent we may be accepted of him. ¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things [done] by his body, what he hath done, whether good or bad. ¹¹ Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also, are made manifest in your consciences. ¹² For we commend not our selves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat for them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. ¹³ For whether we be besides our selves, [it is] for God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge, that [if] one died for all, then were all dead; ¹⁵ And he died for all, that they who live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again. ¹⁶ Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more after the flesh. ¹⁷ Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away, behold they are become new. ¹⁸ And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of the gospel of reconciliation. ²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech by us: we pray in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled unto God. ²¹ He hath made him sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
