30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 13 2CO 04:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day. 2CO 04:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 2CO 04:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. 2CO 05:01 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. 2CO 05:02 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 2CO 05:03 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 2CO 05:04 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. 2CO 05:05 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 2CO 05:06 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 2CO 05:07 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2CO 05:08 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2CO 05:09 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 2CO 05:10 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. 2CO 05:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2CO 05:12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 2CO 05:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause. 2CO 05:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 2CO 05:15 And [that] he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2CO 05:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more. 2CO 05:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2CO 05:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2CO 05:19 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. 2CO 05:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2CO 05:21 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. 2CO 06:01 We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2CO 06:02 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.) 2CO 06:03 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 2CO 06:04 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 2CO 06:05 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 2CO 06:06 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 2CO 06:07 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 2CO 06:08 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true; 2CO 06:09 As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 2CO 06:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things. 2CO 06:11 O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 2CO 06:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 2CO 06:13 Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto [my] children,) be ye also enlarged. 2CO 06:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2CO 06:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2CO 06:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 2CO 06:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, 2CO 06:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2CO 07:01 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2CO 07:02 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 2CO 07:03 I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you]. 2CO 07:04 Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 2CO 07:05 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears. 2CO 07:06 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 2CO 07:07 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 2CO 07:08 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though [it were] but for a season. 2CO 07:09 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 2CO 07:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2CO 07:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what] clearing of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what] fear, yea, [what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what] revenge! In all [things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2CO 07:12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, [I did it] not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. 2CO 07:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 2CO 07:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth. 2CO 07:15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 2CO 07:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all [things]. 2CO 08:01 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 2CO 08:02 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 2CO 08:03 For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves; 2CO 08:04 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 2CO 08:05 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. 2CO 08:06 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 2CO 08:07 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. 2CO 08:08 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. 2CO 08:09 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2CO 08:10 And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 2CO 08:11 Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have. 2CO 08:12 For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath not. 2CO 08:13 For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: 2CO 08:14 But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality: ~~~~~~
