47:004:014 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord
Jesus shall raise up
us
also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
47:004:015 For all things are for your sakes, that
the abundant grace
might
through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory
of
God.
47:004:016 For which cause we faint not; but though
our outward man
perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
47:004:017 For our light affliction, which is but
for a moment, worketh
for
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
47:004:018 While we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the
things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen
are
temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal.
47:005:001 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.
47:005:002 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring
to be clothed upon
with
our house which is from heaven:
47:005:003 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
47:005:004 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.
47:005:005 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame
thing is God, who
also
hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
47:005:006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing
that, whilst we are
at
home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
47:005:007 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
47:005:008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather
to be absent from
the
body, and to be present with the Lord.
47:005:009 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present
or absent, we may
be
accepted of him.
47:005:010 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.
47:005:011 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.
47:005:012 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.
47:005:013 For whether we be beside ourselves, it
is to God: or whether
we
be sober, it is for your cause.
47:005:014 For the love of Christ constraineth us;
because we thus judge,
that
if one died for all, then were all dead:
