2 Corinthians 4:10–5:10

^10galways bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, ^hthat the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. ¹¹For we which live ⁱare alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. ¹²So then ^kdeath worketh in us, but life in you. ¹³We having ^lthe same spirit ^mof faith, according as it is written, ⁿI believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, ^oand therefore speak; ¹⁴knowing that ^phe which raised up the Lord Jesus ^qshall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall ^qqpresent us with you. ¹⁵For ^rall things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might ^sthrough the thanksgiving of many redound ^tto the glory of God. ¹⁶For which cause ^uwe faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet ^vthe inward man ^wis renewed day by day. ¹⁷For ^xour light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us ^ya far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ^18zwhile we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are ^atemporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

V.For we know that if ^aour earthly house of ^bthis tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house ^cnot made with hand, eternal in the heavens. ²For in this ^dwe groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: ³if so be that ^ebeing clothed we shall not be found naked. ⁴For we that are in ^bthis tabernacle ^ddo groan, being burdened: not ^ffor that ^gwe would be unclothed, ^gbut ^hclothed upon, that mortality might be ^hswallowed up of life. ⁵Now ⁱhe that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath ^kgiven unto us the earnest of the Spirit. ⁶Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ⁷(for ^lwe walk by faith, ^mnot by sight:) ⁸ⁿwe are confident, I say, and ^owilling rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

⁹Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be ^paccepted of him. ¹⁰For we must all appear ^qbefore the judgment seat of Christ; ^rthat every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
