00:00.610 --> 00:01.500
Chapter 5.

00:02.540 --> 00:07.280
For we know that if our earthly house of
this tabernacle were dissolved,

00:07.840 --> 00:13.780
we have a building of God, and house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

00:14.600 --> 00:21.060
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring
to be clothed upon with our house which is

00:21.060 --> 00:21.680
from heaven.

00:22.540 --> 00:25.920
If so be that being clothed, we shall not
be found naked.

00:26.660 --> 00:31.840
For we that are in this tabernacle do
groan, being burdened.

00:31.900 --> 00:38.000
Not for that we would be unclothed,
but clothed upon, that mortality might be

00:38.000 --> 00:39.240
swallowed up of life.

00:40.380 --> 00:46.480
Now he that hath wrought us for the
selfsame thing is God, who also hath given

00:46.480 --> 00:49.300
unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

00:49.920 --> 00:54.440
Therefore we are always confident,
knowing that whilst we are at home in the

00:54.440 --> 00:56.840
body, we are absent from the Lord.

00:58.460 --> 01:01.480
For we walk by faith, not by sight.

01:02.060 --> 01:06.200
We are confident, I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body,

01:06.540 --> 01:08.060
and to be present with the Lord.

01:08.720 --> 01:13.620
Wherefore we labour, that whether present
or absent, we may be accepted of him.

01:14.180 --> 01:19.660
For we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ, that everyone may receive

01:19.660 --> 01:24.580
the things done in his body according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or

01:24.580 --> 01:25.020
bad.

01:26.000 --> 01:31.220
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord,
we persuade men, but we are made manifest

01:31.220 --> 01:35.800
unto God, and I trust also are made
manifest in your consciences.

01:36.480 --> 01:42.220
For we commend not ourselves again unto
you, but give you occasion to glory on our

01:42.220 --> 01:47.900
behalf, that ye may have somewhat to
answer them which glory in appearance and

01:47.900 --> 01:48.700
not in heart.

01:49.400 --> 01:54.300
For whether we be beside ourselves,
it is to God, or whether we be sober,

01:54.900 --> 01:56.180
it is for your cause.

01:57.100 --> 02:04.000
For the love of Christ constraineth us,
because we thus judge that if one died for

02:04.000 --> 02:10.740
all, then were all dead, and that he died
for all, that they which live should not

02:10.740 --> 02:15.800
henceforth live unto themselves,
but unto him which died for them and rose

02:15.800 --> 02:16.260
again.

02:17.460 --> 02:22.660
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after
the flesh, yea, though we have known

02:22.660 --> 02:26.900
Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we him no more.

02:27.740 --> 02:31.620
Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature.

02:32.160 --> 02:34.200
Old things are passed away.

02:34.620 --> 02:37.400
Behold, all things are become new.

02:38.220 --> 02:43.400
And all things are of God, who hath
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,

02:43.620 --> 02:46.700
and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation.

02:47.580 --> 02:52.240
To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,

02:52.520 --> 02:57.600
not imputing their trespasses unto them,
and hath committed unto us the word of

02:57.600 --> 02:58.120
reconciliation.

02:59.060 --> 03:04.800
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God did beseech you by us.

03:05.160 --> 03:11.120
We pray you in Christ's stead,
be reconciled to God, for he hath made him

03:11.120 --> 03:17.340
to be sin for us, who knew no sin,
that we might be made the righteousness of

03:17.340 --> 03:18.480
God in him.
