For if we who live are delivered to death for Jesus'' sake, so also will the life of Jesus be made manifest in our mortal bodies.

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

For this reason, we do not grow weary; for though our outward man perish, yet the inner man is renewed day by day.

For while the troubles of the present time are little and light, a great and limitless glory for ever and ever is prepared for us.

We do not rejoice in the things which are seen, but in the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

FOR we know that if our earthly house were destroyed, we still have a building made by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given to us the pledge of his Spirit.

For we walk by faith, and not by sight.

For we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may be rewarded according to that which he has done with his body, whether it be good or bad.

For if we go wrong, we answer to God, and if we go straight, it is for you.

For the love of Christ compels us to reason thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that those who live may not henceforth live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.

For God was in Christ, who has reconciled the world with his majesty, not counting their sins against them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we beseech you for Christ; be reconciled to God.

For he who did not know sin, for your sakes he made him sin, that we may through him be made the righteousness of God.

For he said, I have answered you in an acceptable time, and I have helped you on the day of salvation: behold, now is the acceptable time; and behold now is the day of salvation.

Give no occasion for offence to any one in anything, so that there be no blemish in our ministry:

Do not unite in marriage with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what mingling has light with darkness?

Or what harmony has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as it is said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I do not say this to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die and live with you.
