2 Corinthians 5 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

The Temporal and Eternal

2Co 5:1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2Co 5:2

2Co 5:2Here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling,

2Co 5:3

2Co 5:3so that by putting it on we may not be found naked.

2Co 5:4

2Co 5:4For while we are still in this tent, we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

2Co 5:5

2Co 5:5He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

2Co 5:6

2Co 5:6So we are always of good courage; we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

2Co 5:7

2Co 5:7for we walk by faith, not by sight.

2Co 5:8

2Co 5:8We are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

2Co 5:9

2Co 5:9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

2Co 5:10

2Co 5:10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body.

2Co 5:11

2Co 5:11Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

2Co 5:12

2Co 5:12We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who pride themselves on a man's position and not on his heart.

2Co 5:13

2Co 5:13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

2Co 5:14

2Co 5:14For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died.

2Co 5:15

2Co 5:15And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

2Co 5:16

2Co 5:16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

2Co 5:17

2Co 5:17Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.

2Co 5:18

2Co 5:18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

2Co 5:19

2Co 5:19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

2Co 5:20

2Co 5:20So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

2Co 5:21

2Co 5:21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
