| [1]For we knowe, that yf our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were destroyed, we haue a building of God, an habitation not made with handes, but eternall in heauen |
[1]For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we have a building given of God, that is, an house not made with hands, but eternal in the heavens. |
| [2]For therfore sygh we, desiryng to be clothed with our house whiche is from heauen |
[2]For therefore we sigh, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heaven. |
| [3]So yet, yf that we be founde clothed, and not naked |
[3]Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked. |
| [4]For we that are in this tabernacle sigh, & being burdened because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpo, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of lyfe |
[4]For indeed we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. |
| [5]He that hath ordeyned vs for this thyng [is] God, which hath also geuen vnto vs the earnest of the spirite |
[5]And he that hath created us for this thing, is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. |
| [6]Therfore we are alway of good cheare, and knowe, that as long as we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lorde |
[6]Therefore we are alway bold, though we know that whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. |
| [7](For we walke by fayth, not after outwarde appearaunce. |
[7](For we walk by faith, and not by sight.) |
| [8]Neuerthelesse, we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lorde |
[8]Nevertheless, we are bold, and love rather to remove out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord. |
| [9]Wherfore, whether we be at home, or from home, we endeuour our selues to be accepted vnto hym |
[9]Wherefore also we covet, that both dwelling at home, and removing from home, we may be acceptable to him. |
| [10]For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christe, that euery man may receaue the workes of his bodie according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad |
[10]For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil. |
| [11]Seing then that we knowe the feare of the Lorde, we fare fayre with men: For we are knowen well enough vnto God. I trust also that we are knowen in your consciences |
[11]Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences. |
| [12]For we prayse not our selues agayne vnto you, but geue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue somwhat agaynst them which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart |
[12]For we praise not ourselves again unto you, but give you an occasion to rejoice of us, that ye may have to answer against them, which rejoice in the face, and not in the heart. |
| [13]For yf we be to feruent, to God are we to feruent: Or yf we kepe measure, for your cause kepe we measure |
[13]For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right mind, we are it unto you. |
| [14]For the loue of Christe constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all dead |
[14]For the love of Christ constraineth us: because we thus judge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, |
| [15]And he dyed for all, that they which lyue, shoulde not hencefoorth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto hym which dyed for them, and rose agayne |
[15]And 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 hencefoorth knowe we no man after the flesshe: Insomuche, though we haue knowen Christe after the flesshe, nowe yet hencefoorth knowe we hym so no more |
[16]Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though we had known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. |
| [17]Therfore yf any man be in Christe, he is a newe creature. Olde thynges are passed awaye, beholde all thynges are become newe |
[17]Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new. |
| [18]And all thynges are of God, whiche hath reconciled vs vnto hym selfe by Iesus Christe, and hath geuen to vs the ministerie of reconciliation |
[18]And all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation. |
| [19]For God was in Christe, reconciling the worlde to hym selfe, not imputyng their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the preachyng of the atonement |
[19]For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation. |
| [20]Nowe then are we messengers in the rowme of Christe, euen as though God dyd beseche you through vs. So praye we you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled vnto God |
[20]Now then are we ambassadors for Christ: as though God did beseech you through us, we pray you in Christ's stead, that ye be reconciled to God. |
| [21]For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, whiche knewe no sinne, that we shoulde be made the ryghteousnesse of God in hym |
[21]For he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we should be made the righteousness of God in him. |
