| 5:1 | For we know, that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolued, wee haue a building of God, an house not made with hand, eternall in the heauens. |
| 5:2 | For in this we grone earnestly, desiring to be clothed vpon with our house, which is from heauen. |
| 5:3 | If so be that being clothed we shal not be found naked. |
| 5:4 | For, we that are in this tabernacle, doe grone, being burdened, not for that wee would bee vnclothed, but clothed vpon, that mortalitie might bee swallowed vp of life. |
| 5:5 | Now he that hath wrought vs for the selfe same thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the spirit. |
| 5:6 | Therefore we are alwayes confident, knowing that whilest wee are at home in the body, wee are absent from the Lord. |

| 5:12 | For we commend not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you occasion to glory on our behalfe, that you may haue somewhat to answere them, which glory in appearance, and not in heart. |
| 5:13 | For whether wee bee besides our selues, it is to God: or whether we bee sober, it is for your cause. |
| 5:14 | For the loue of Christ constreineth vs, because wee thus iudge: that if one died for all, then were all dead: |
| 5:15 | And that he died for all, that they which liue, should not hencefoorth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe. |
| 5:16 | Wherefore hencefoorth know we no man, after the flesh: yea, though we haue knowen Christ after the flesh, yet now hencefoorth knowe wee him no more. |
| 5:17 | Therfore if any man be in Christ, hee is a new creature: old things are past away, behold, al things are become new. |
| 5:18 | And all things are of God, who hath reconciled vs to himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen to vs the ministery of reconciliation, |
| 5:19 | To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world vnto himselfe, not imputing their trespasses vnto them, and hath committed vnto vs the word of reconciliation. |
| 5:20 | Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by vs; we pray you in Christs stead, that be ye reconciled to God. |
| 5:21 | For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, who knewe no sinne, that wee might bee made the righteousnesse of God in him. |

| 5:3 | and longe to be clothed therwith, so yet, yf that we be founde clothed, and not naked. |
| 5:4 | For as longe as we are in this tabernacle, we sighe and are greued, for we had rather not be vnclothed, but to be clothed vpon, that mortalite might be swalowed vp of life. |
| 5:5 | But he that hath ordeyned vs for this, is God, which hath geuen vs the earnest of the sprete. |
| 5:6 | Therfore are we allwaye of good cheare, and knowe, that as longe as we dwell here in the body, we are not at home with the LORDE: |
| 5:7 | for we walke in faith, and se him not. |
| 5:8 | Neuertheles we are of good comforte, and had leuer to be absent from the body, & to be at home with the LORDE. |
| 5:9 | Wherfore, whether we be at home or fro home, we endeuoure oure selues to please him. |
| 5:10 | For we must all appeare before the iudgment seate of Christ, yt euery one maye receaue in his body, acordinge to yt he hath done, whether it be good or bad. |
| 5:11 | Seynge then that we knowe, how that the LORDE is to be feared, we fare fayre with men, but we are knowne well ynough vnto God: I trust also, that we are knowne in youre consciences. |
| 5:12 | We prayse not oure selues agayne vnto you, but geue you an occasion to reioyse of vs, yt ye maye haue to reioyse agaynst them, which reioyse after the outwarde appearaunce, and not after the hert. |

| 5:15 | And therfore dyed he for all, that they which lyue, shulde not hence forth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto him, which dyed for them and rose agayne. |
| 5:16 | Therfore hence forth knowe we noman after ye flesh: and though we haue knowne Christ also after the flesh, yet knowe we him now so nomore. |
| 5:17 | Therfore yf eny man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Olde thinges are past awaye, beholde, all are become new. |
| 5:18 | Neuertheles all thinges are off God, which hath reconcyled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen vs the office to preach the attonement. |
| 5:19 | For God was in Christ, and reconcyled the worlde vnto himselfe, and counted not ther synnes vnto them, and amonge vs hath he set vp the worde of ye attonemet. |
| 5:20 | Now the are we messaungers in the rowme of Christ, euen as though God exhorted by vs. We beseke you now therfore in Christes steade, that ye be at one with God: |

| 5:3 | and not nakid. |
| 5:4 | For whi and we that ben in this tabernacle, sorewen with ynne, and ben heuyed, for that we wolen not be spuylid, but be clothid aboue; that the ilke thing that is deedli, be sopun vp of lijf. |
| 5:5 | But who is it that makith vs in to this same thing? God, that yaf to vs the ernes of the spirit. |
| 5:6 | Therfor we ben hardi algatis, and witen that the while we ben in this bodi, we goen in pilgrymage fro the Lord; |
| 5:7 | for we walken bi feith, and not bi cleer siyt. |
| 5:8 | But we ben hardi, and han good wille, more to be in pilgrymage fro the bodi, and to be present to God. |
| 5:9 | And therfor we stryuen, whether absent, whether present, to plese hym. |
