The Temporal and Eternal

1 For we know that if ^athe ¹earthly ²tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house ³not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed in this house we ⁴groan, longing to be ⁵clothed with our dwelling from heaven, 3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. 4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we ⁶groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be ⁷clothed, so that what is ⁸mortal will be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who ⁹gave to us the Spirit as a ^bpledge. 6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that ¹⁰while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - 7 for ¹¹we walk by faith, not by ^csight - 8 we are of good courage, I say, and ¹²prefer rather to be absent from the body and ¹³to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be ¹⁴pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before ¹⁵the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for ^dhis deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Therefore, knowing the ¹⁶fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God ; and I hope that we are ¹⁷made manifest also in your consciences. 12 We are not ¹⁸again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an ¹⁹occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we ^eare ²⁰beside ourselves, it is for God ; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ ²¹controls us, having concluded this, that ²²one died for all, therefore all died ; 15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer ²³live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. 16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one ^f²⁴according to the flesh ; even though we have known Christ ^gaccording to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is ²⁵in Christ, ^hhe is ²⁶a new creature ; ²⁷the old things passed away ; behold, new things have come. 18 Now ²⁸all these things are from God, ²⁹who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ³⁰ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that ³¹God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, ³²not counting their trespasses against them, and ⁱHe has ^jcommitted to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ³³ambassadors for Christ, ³⁴as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be ³⁵reconciled to God. 21 He made Him who ³⁶knew no sin to be ³⁷sin on our behalf, so that we might become the ³⁸righteousness of God in Him.
