For if that which is done away, was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

But their mindes were blinded: for vntill this day remaineth the same vaile vntaken away, in the reading of the old testament: which vaile is done away in Christ.

For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruants for Iesus sake.

For God who commaunded the light to shine out of darkenes, hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

For we which liue, are always deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might bee made manifest in our mortall flesh.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundat grace might, through the thankesgiuing of many, redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a momet, worketh for vs a farre more exceeding and eternall waight of glory,

While we looke not at the things which are seene, but at ye things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall, but the things which are not seene, are eternall.

For we know, that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolued, wee haue a building of God, an house not made with hand, eternall in the heauens.

For in this we grone earnestly, desiring to be clothed vpon with our house, which is from heauen.

For, we that are in this tabernacle, doe grone, being burdened, not for that wee would bee vnclothed, but clothed vpon, that mortalitie might bee swallowed vp of life.

Now he that hath wrought vs for the selfe same thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the spirit.

(For we walke by faith, not by sight.)

For we must all appeare before the iudgement seat of Christ, that euery one may receiue the things done in his body, according to that hee hath done, whether it be good or bad.

For we commend not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you occasion to glory on our behalfe, that you may haue somewhat to answere them, which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

For whether wee bee besides our selues, it is to God: or whether we bee sober, it is for your cause.

For the loue of Christ constreineth vs, because wee thus iudge: that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that they which liue, should not hencefoorth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.

Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by vs; we pray you in Christs stead, that be ye reconciled to God.
