2 Corinthians 5 (NLT) We are like an earthly house as a store of non permanent campaign; but we know that if this shop is destroyed, God has prepared for us in heaven an eternal house, which was not made by human hands. 2 For in this we groan while we live in this present house, and then we would move into our heavenly home; 3 so, even if we are deprived of this dress, we will not be naked. 4 While we live in this store sighs afflicted, because we do not want to be stripped, but rather be coated so that the mortal remains absorbed in the new life. 5 And God is who has driven us to this, it has given us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of what we receive. 6 That is why we always trust. We know that while living in the body we are as in exile, far from the Lord. 7 Now we can not see it, but we live sustained by faith; 8 but we have confidence, and would rather be away from the body and go live with the Lord. 9 why we always try to please the Lord, whether we continue to live here or we have to go. 10 For we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him as good or bad things done while in the body. The message of peace with God 11 Therefore, knowing that the Lord must reverence him, we try to persuade men. God knows us very well, and I hope you also know us. 12 Not that we have put again to commend ourselves, but were giving you a chance to be proud of us, so they can answer those boast of appearances rather than what is in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; and if were not, its for you. 14 The love of Christ has gripped us since we realized that one died for all and therefore all died. 15 And Christ died for all, that those who live no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and rose. 16 Therefore, we no longer think of anyone by the standards of this world; and even once thought of Christ against the criteria, now no longer think like him. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ is a new person. Old things are passed away; became something new. 18 All this is the work of God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:. 19 words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, regardless of the sins of men; and instructed us to give us this message known. 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, which is as though God were entreating them to you through us. . Therefore, in the name of Christ we pray you to accept the reconciliation with God 21 Christ committed no sin; but for our sake God made him sin, to make us the righteousness of God in Christ.
