Chap. V.
That after death of the body the soule may to heauen: therfore, although naturally vve
abhorre death, by grace he desireth it rather: 9 in consideration of Christes iust
iudgement, liuing as in the sight of God, yea and of their consciences. 12. Which
he speaketh not to praise him self, but because of his Aduersaries vvho did glorie
in carnal respectes: but he and the other Apostles regard nothing but their reconciliation
vnto God by Christ, and to reconcile others also, as being his legates for
that purpose.
1 For vve knovv that if our earthly
house of this habitation be dissolued,
that vve haue a building of God, a
house not made vvith hand, eternal in
heauen.
2 For in this also do vve grone,
desirous to be ouerclothed with our habitation
that is from heauen:
3 yet so, if
vve be found clothed, not naked.
4 For
vve also that are in this tabernacle, grone being burdened:
because vve would not be spoiled, but ouerclothed, that that
vvhich is mortal, might be svvallovved vp of life.
5 And he
that maketh vs to this same, is God, vvho hath giuen vs the
pledge of the Spirit.
6 Being bold therfore alvvaies, and
knovving that vvhile vve are in the body, vve are pilgrimes
from God,
7 (for vve vvalke by faith and not by sight)
8 but vve are bold, and haue a good vvil to be pilgrimes rather
from the body, & note to be present vvith our Lord.
9 And
therfore vve endeuour, vvhether absent or present, to please
him.
10 For note vve must al be manifested before the iudgem&ebar;t
seate of Christ, that euery one may receiue09Q1173 the proper things
of the body, according as he hath done,09Q1174 either good or euil.
11 Knovving therfore the feare of our Lord vve vse persuasion
to men: but to God vve are manifest. And I hope
also that in your consciences vve are manifest.
12 Vve commend
-- --
not our selues againe to you, but giue you occasion to
glorie for vs: that you may haue against them that glorie in
face, and not in hart.
13 for vvhether vve excede in minde, to
God: or vvhether vve be sober, to you.
14 For the charitie
of Christ vrgeth vs: iudging this, that if one died for al, then
al vvere dead.
15 and Christ died for al: that they also vvhich
liue, may not novv liue to them selues, but to him that died
for them and rose againe.
16 Therfore vve from hence forth
knovv no man according to the flesh. And if vve haue
knovven Christ according to the flesh: but novv vve know
him no more.
17 If then any be in Christ a nevv creature: the old are
passed, behold note al things are made nevv.
18 but al of God,
vvho hath reconciled vs to him self by Christ: and hath giuen
09Q1175 vs the ministerie of reconciliation.
19 For God in
deede vvas in Christ reconciling the vvorld to him self, not
imputing to them their sinnes, and hath put in vs the vvord
of reconciliation.
20 For Christ therfore vve are legates, God
as it vvere exhorting by vs. For Christ vve beseeche you, be
reconciled to God.
21 Him that knevv no sinne, for vs he
made note sinne: that vve might be made09Q1176 the iustice of God
in him
