ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 of this tabernacleG4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 ofG1537 GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG886, eternalG166 inG1722 the heavensG3772.
ForG2532+G1063 inG1722 thisG5129 we groanG4727, earnestly desiringG1971 to be clothed uponG1902 with ourG2257 houseG3613 whichG3588 is fromG1537 heavenG3772:
IfG1489 soG2532 be that being clothedG1746 we shallG2147 notG3756 be foundG2147 nakedG1131.
ForG2532+G1063 we that areG5607 inG1722 this tabernacleG4636 do groanG4727, being burdenedG916: notG3756 for thatG1894 we wouldG2309 be unclothedG1562, butG235 clothed uponG1902, thatG2443 mortalityG2349 might be swallowed upG2666 ofG5259 lifeG2222.
NowG1161 he that hath wroughtG2716 usG2248 forG1519 the selfsame thingG846+G5124 is GodG2316, whoG3588 alsoG2532 hath givenG1325 unto usG2254 the earnestG728 of the SpiritG4151.
ThereforeG3767+G2532 we are alwaysG3842 confidentG2292, knowingG1492 thatG3754, whilst we are at homeG1736 inG1722 the bodyG4983, we are absentG1553 fromG575 the LordG2962:
(ForG1063 we walkG4043 byG1223 faithG4102, notG3756 byG1223 sightG1491:)
We are confidentG2292, I say, andG1161+G2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG1352 we labourG5389, thatG2532, whetherG1535 presentG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, we may beG1511 acceptedG2101 of himG846. {labour: or, endeavour}
ForG1063 weG2248 mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 the judgment seatG968 of ChristG5547; thatG2443 every oneG1538 may receiveG2865 the things done inG1223 his bodyG4983, accordingG4314 to thatG3739 he hath doneG4238, whetherG1535 it be goodG18 orG1535 badG2556.
KnowingG1492 thereforeG3767 the terrorG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 menG444; butG1161 we are made manifestG5319 unto GodG2316; andG1161 I trustG1679 alsoG2532 are made manifestG5319 inG1722 yourG5216 consciencesG4893.
ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG5213, butG235 giveG1325 youG5213 occasionG874 to gloryG2745 onG5228 ourG2257 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer them which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. {in appearance: Gr. in the face}
ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG5213.
ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
AndG2532 that he diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 they which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto him which diedG599 forG5228 themG846, andG2532 rose againG1453.
WhereforeG5620 henceforthG575+G3568 knowG1492 weG2249 no manG3762 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: yeaG1161, thoughG1499 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 henceforthG3765 know weG1097 him no moreG3765.
ThereforeG5620 if any manG1536 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. {he is: or, let him be}
AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG2248 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG2254 the ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643;
To witG5613, thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG2258 inG1722 ChristG5547, reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 unto himselfG1438, notG3361 imputingG3049 theirG846 trespassesG3900 unto themG846; andG2532 hath committedG5087 untoG1722 usG2254 the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643. {committed…: Gr. put in us}
Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ'sG5547 steadG5228, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
ForG1063 he hath madeG4160 him to be sinG266 forG5228 usG2257, whoG3588 knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.

Do we beginG756 againG3825 to commendG4921 ourselvesG1438? orG1508 need weG5535, asG5613 someG5100 others, epistlesG1992 of commendationG4956 toG4314 youG5209, orG2228 letters of commendationG4956 fromG1537 youG5216?
AsG2531 alsoG2532 ye have acknowledgedG1921 usG2248 inG575 partG3313, thatG3754 we areG2070 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745, even asG2509 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are oursG2257 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
As many asG3745 desireG2309 to make a fair shewG2146 inG1722 the fleshG4561, theyG3778 constrainG315 youG5209 to be circumcisedG4059; onlyG3440 lestG3363 they should suffer persecutionG1377 for the crossG4716 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 neitherG3761 they themselvesG846 who are circumcisedG4059 keepG5442 the lawG3551; butG235 desireG2309 to haveG4059 youG5209 circumcisedG4059, thatG2443 they may gloryG2744 inG1722 yourG5212 fleshG4561.
ButG1161 God forbidG3361+G1096 that IG1698 should gloryG2744, saveG1508 inG1722 the crossG4716 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, byG1223 whomG3739 the worldG2889 is crucifiedG4717 unto meG1698, and IG2504 unto the worldG2889. {by whom: or, whereby}
ButG235 inG1722 allG3956 things approvingG4921 ourselvesG1438 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of GodG2316, inG1722 muchG4183 patienceG5281, inG1722 afflictionsG2347, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 distressesG4730, {approving: Gr. commending}
ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, thatG2532 I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG874 from them which desireG2309 occasionG874; thatG2443 whereinG1722+G3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG2249.
ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457.
ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1499 hisG846 ministersG1249 alsoG1499 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 accordingG2596 to theirG846 worksG2041.
I sayG3004 againG3825, LetG1380 noG3361 manG5100 thinkG1380 meG1511+G3165 a foolG878; if otherwiseG1490, yetG2579 asG5613 a foolG878 receiveG1209 meG3165, thatG2443 IG2504 may boast myselfG2744 aG5100 littleG3397. {receive: or, suffer}
ForG1063+G2532 thoughG1437+G5037 I should boastG2744 somewhatG5100 moreG4055 ofG4012 ourG2257 authorityG1849, whichG3739 the LordG2962 hath givenG1325 usG2254 forG1519 edificationG3619, andG2532 notG3756 forG1519 yourG5216 destructionG2506, I shouldG153 notG3756 be ashamedG153:
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ForG1063 we dareG5111 notG3756 makeG1469 ourselves of the numberG1469, orG2228 compareG4793 ourselvesG1438 withG4793 someG5100 that commendG4921 themselvesG1438: butG235 theyG846 measuringG3354 themselvesG1438 byG1722 themselvesG1438, andG2532 comparingG4793 themselvesG1438 amongG4793 themselvesG1438, areG4920 notG3756 wiseG4920. {are…: or, understand it not}
ForG1063 notG3756 heG1565 that commendethG4921 himselfG1438 isG2076 approvedG1384, butG235 whomG3739 the LordG2962 commendethG4921.
