5:4

For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

5:5

Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

5:6

So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

5:7

(for we are walking by faith, not by seeing)

5:8

we are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

5:9

For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.

5:10

For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

5:11

Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes (your consciences).

5:12

We are not again requesting (reintroducing ourselves for) your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in (boasting over) us, so that you may be able to give an answer (might have somewhat to give) to those whose glory (boast) is in the face (outward appearance), and not in the heart.

5:13

For if we are foolish (nuts/bewitched/beside ourselves), it is to God; or if we are serious (a safe pair of hands), it is for you.

5:14

For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;

5:15

And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.
