- For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
- For we live by faith, not by sight.
- For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
- That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
- God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
