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.

Would to GodG3785 ye could bearG430 with meG3450 a littleG3397 in my follyG877: andG2532 indeedG235 bearG430 with meG3450. {indeed bear…: or, indeed ye do bear with me}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto MichalH4324, It was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which choseH977 me before thy fatherH1, and before all his houseH1004, to appointH6680 me rulerH5057 over the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, over IsraelH3478: therefore will I playH7832 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
ButG1161 he saidG5346, I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105, most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669 the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997.
WhereforeG686, thoughG1499 I wroteG1125 unto youG5213, I did it notG3756 for his causeG1752 that had done the wrongG91, norG3761 for his causeG1752 that suffered wrongG91, butG235 thatG1752 ourG2257 careG4710 forG5228 youG5216 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 might appearG5319 untoG4314 youG5209.
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}
And I will yet be more vileH7043 than thusH2063, and will be baseH8217 in mine own sightH5869: and of the maidservantsH519 which thou hast spokenH559 of, of them shall I be had in honourH3513. {of the…: or, of the handmaids of my servants}
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
WhoG3739 nowG3568 rejoiceG5463 inG1722 myG3450 sufferingsG3804 forG5228 youG5216, andG2532 fill upG466 that which is behindG5303 of the afflictionsG2347 of ChristG5547 inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561 forG5228 hisG846 body'sG4983 sakeG5228, which isG3603 the churchG1577:
That whichG3739 I speakG2980, I speakG2980 it notG3756 afterG2596 the LordG2962, butG235 asG5613 it were foolishlyG1722+G877, inG1722 thisG5026 confidenceG5287 of boastingG2746.
ForG3754 ourG2257 gospelG2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG5209 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG5213 forG1223 yourG5209 sake.
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.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
I am becomeG1096 a foolG878 in gloryingG2744; yeG5210 have compelledG315 meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 to have been commendedG4921 ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302 the very chiefestG3029 apostlesG652+G5228, thoughG1499 I beG1510 nothingG3762.
AndG1161 as heG846 thusG5023 spake for himselfG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062 theeG4571 madG1519+G3130.
ButG1161 he saidG5346, I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105, most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669 the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997.
WeG2249 are foolsG3474 forG1223 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1223, butG1161 yeG5210 are wiseG5429 inG1722 ChristG5547; weG2249 are weakG772, butG1161 yeG5210 are strongG2478; yeG5210 are honourableG1741, butG1161 weG2249 are despisedG820.
EvenG891 unto this presentG737 hourG5610 weG3983 bothG2532 hungerG3983, andG2532 thirstG1372, andG2532 are nakedG1130, andG2532 are buffetedG2852, andG2532 have no certain dwellingplaceG790;
AndG2532 labourG2872, workingG2038 with our ownG2398 handsG5495: being reviledG3058, we blessG2127; being persecutedG1377, we suffer itG430:
Being defamedG987, we intreatG3870: we are madeG1096 asG5613 the filthG4027 of the worldG2889, and are the offscouringG4067 of all thingsG3956 untoG2193 this dayG737.
ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388:
ButG235 asG2531 we were allowedG1381 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be put in trustG4100 with the gospelG2098, even soG3779 we speakG2980; notG3756 asG5613 pleasingG700 menG444, butG235 GodG2316, which triethG1381 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 neitherG3777 at any timeG4218 used weG1096 flatteringG2850 wordsG1722+G3056, asG2531 ye knowG1492, norG3777 a clokeG1722+G4392 of covetousnessG4124; GodG2316 is witnessG3144:
NorG3777 ofG1537 menG444 soughtG2212 we gloryG1391, neitherG3777 ofG575 youG5216, norG3777 yet ofG575 othersG243, when we mightG1410 have beenG1511 burdensomeG1722+G922, asG5613 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. {been…: or, used authority}
ButG235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216, even asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG302+G2282 herG1438 childrenG5043:
SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG27 unto usG2254.
ForG1063 ye rememberG3421, brethrenG80, ourG2257 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449: forG1063 labouringG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, becauseG4314 we wouldG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 unto anyG5100 of youG5216, we preachedG2784 untoG1519 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316.
YeG5210 are witnessesG3144, andG2532 GodG2316 also, howG5613 holilyG3743 andG2532 justlyG1346 andG2532 unblameablyG274 we behaved ourselvesG1096 among youG5213 that believeG4100:
AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 and chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5209+G5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043,
