2 Corinthians 5 (KJV)

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
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.




11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest (evident) unto God; and I trust also are made manifest (evident) in your consciences.




15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth (go on to)  live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth (go on to) know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth (go on to) know we him no more.





17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.




20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech (plead of, beg of) you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead {the place or role that someone or something should have or fill (used in referring to a substitute).}, be ye reconciled to God.





21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
