The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 54: 2 Corinthians: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Corinthians, 2nd
4:14. Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with
Jesus and place us with you.
4:15. For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding
through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.
4:16. For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is
corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
4:17. For that which is at present momentary and light of our
tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight
of glory.
4:18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the
things which are not seen, are eternal.
2 Corinthians Chapter 5
He is willing to leave his earthly mansion to be with the Lord. His
charity to the Corinthians.
5:1. For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved,
that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in
heaven.
5:2. For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our
habitation that is from heaven.
5:3. Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.
5:4. For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened;
because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is
mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5:5. Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us
the pledge of the Spirit,
5:6. Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in
the body we are absent from the Lord.
5:7. (For we walk by faith and not by sight.)
5:8. But we are confident and have a good will to be absent rather from
the body and to be present with the Lord.
5:9. And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
5:10. For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ,
that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as
he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
The proper things of the body... In the particular judgment, immediately
after death, the soul is rewarded or punished according to what it has
done in the body.
5:11. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men:
but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we
are manifest.
5:12. We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to
glory in our behalf: that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory
in face, and not in heart.
5:13. For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we
be sober, it is for you.
5:14. For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one
died for all, then all were dead.
5:15. And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live
to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again.
5:16. Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And
if we have known Christ according to the flesh: but now we know him so
no longer.
