  2nd Corinthians   chapter 5

       1 For we know that if our earthly house of this
      tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of
      God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the
      heavens.
       2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be
      clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
       3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be
      found naked.
       4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan,
      being burdened: not for that we would be
      unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might
      be swallowed up of life.
       5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame
      thing is God, who also 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 the Lord:
       7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
       8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to
      be absent from the body, and to be present with
      the Lord.
       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 in his body, according to that he
      hath done, whether it be 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 ourselves again unto you,
      but give you occasion to glory on our behalf,
      that ye may have somewhat to answer them which
      glory in appearance, and not in heart.
      13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to
      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 that he died for all, that they which live
      should not henceforth live unto themselves, but
      unto him which died for them, and rose again.
      16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the
      flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the
      flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
      17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
      creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
      things are become new.
      18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled
      us to himself by Jesus 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 reconciliation.
      20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as
      though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in
      Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
      21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who
      knew no sin; that we might be made the
      righteousness of God in him.
