2 Corinthians 5
Introduction
| 1 | That in his assured hope of immortal glory, |
| 9 | and in expectation of it, and of the general judgment, he labours to keep a good conscience; |
| 12 | not that he may herein boast of himself, |
| 14 | but as one that, having received life from Christ, endeavours to live as a new creature to Christ only, |
| 18 | and by his ministry of reconciliation, to reconcile others also in Christ to God. |
