- For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- For we walk by faith, not by sight.
- For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.
- So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
- All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
- That is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.
- For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. Though the fig tree does not blossom,
and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will exult in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
