Chapter 5
2nd Corinthians
5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of Elohim, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our house which is from heaven:
5:3 If so be that, being clothed, we shall not be found naked.
5:4 For we who are in this tabernacle groan, being burdened: not because we wish to be unclothed, but clothed, so that mortality might be swallowed up in life.
5:5 Now he who has worked us for this same thing is Elohim, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from YASHUWAH ~
5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with YASHUWAH.
5:9 Therefore we labor, so that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by him.
5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of the Messiah; so that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of YASHUWAH, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to Elohim; and I trust also are made manifest in your* consciences.
5:12 For we do not commend ourselves again to you*, but give you* occasion to glory on our behalf, so that you* may have something to answer those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.
5:13 For whether we are beside ourselves, it is to Elohim: or whether we are sober, it is for your* cause.
5:14 For the love of the Messiah constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then all were dead:
5:15 And that he died for all, so that those who live should not from now on live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.
5:16 Therefore from now on we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed we have known the Messiah according to the flesh, yet now from now on we know him no more.
5:17 Therefore, if any man is in the Messiah, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
5:18 And all things are from Elohim, who has reconciled us to himself by YASHUWAH the Messiah, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
5:19 Namely, that Elohim was in the Messiah, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for the Messiah, as though Elohim prayed you* by us: we pray you* in the Messiah's stead, be reconciled to Elohim.
5:21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; so that we might be made the righteousness of Elohim in him.
