A CONFIDENT MINISTRY
{5:1} For we know that if our earthly house of [this]tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
{5:2}For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
{5:3} If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
{5:4} For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
{5:5} Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
{5:6} Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
{5:7} (๐๐ธ๐ป ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐ซ๐ ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฑ, ๐ท๐ธ๐ฝ ๐ซ๐ ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฝ:)
{5:8} We are confident, [I say,] and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
{5:9} Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
{5:10} For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
