\subsection{II Corinthians 5}
\VS{1} For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tent be destroyed, we have [a] 
building from God, [an] eternal house not made with hands in the heavens. 
\VS{2} For in this we also groan, longing to put on our dwelling from heaven, 
\VS{3} if indeed, being clothed, we not be found naked. 
\VS{4} For we being 
in [this] tent do groan, being weighed down, not that we want to be unclothed, but 
clothed, in order that the death-like be swallowed up by zoe-life\fnZoe{}. 
\VS{5} Now the [one] having wrought us for this same [this is] God, 
the [one] having given to us the down-payment of the spirit. 
\VS{6} Always being courageous therefore, and 
knowing that being home in the body we are absent from the Lord --- 
\VS{7} for through faith we walk, not through visible-form --- 
\VS{8} we are confident and 
resolve rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. 
\VS{9} Therefore we aspire, whether being home or being absent, to be pleasing to him. 
\VS{10} For we all must be manifest before the judgment seat of Christ, 
in order that each receive the [things] toward which he practiced through his body, 
whether good or worthless.

\VS{11} Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but to God 
we are manifest, and I hope to be manifest in your consciences. 
\VS{12} We 
do not again recommend ourselves to you, but giving to you pretext of 
boasting concerning us, in order that you have [answer] to those boasting in 
appearance, and not in heart. 
\VS{13} For whether we are senseless, [it is] to God, 
whether we are of sound mind, [it is] to you. 
\VS{14} For the agape-love of Christ 
impels us, having judged this [thing], that one [man] died in behalf of all; therefore all died. 
\VS{15} And he died in behalf of all in order that those zoe-living\fnZoe{} no 
longer zoe-live\fnZoe{} to themselves but to the [one] having died and having been raised in their behalf. 
\VS{16} So we from now on know nothing according to the flesh; 
and if we have known Christ according to the flesh, now we no longer know 
[him thus]. 
\VS{17} So if anyone [is] in Christ, [He is a] new creation; the old has passed away, 
behold everything is become new. 
\VS{18} So everything [is] from the God having 
reconciled us to himself through Christ and having given to us the service 
of the reconciliation, 
\VS{19} how God was in Christ reconciling [the] world to 
himself, not reckoning to them their transgressions, and having placed in us 
the word of reconciliation. 
\VS{20} In behalf of Christ therefore we act as 
ambassadors, as though God [is] exhorting through us; we ask in Christ's behalf, 
be reconciled to God. 
\VS{21} He made him sin in our behalf, [he] who knew not 
sin, in order that we become [the] justness of God in him.
