That in his assured hope of immortal glory, |
and in expectation of it, he labors to keep a good conscience; |
11 Εἴδοτες οὖν τὸν φόβον τοῦ κυρίου ἀνθρώπους πείθομεν θεῷ δὲ πεφανερώμεθα· ἐλπίζω δὲ καὶ ἐν ταῖς συνειδήσεσιν ὑμῶν πεφανερῶσθαι. |
not that he may boast of himself, |
but as one that, having received life from Christ, |
16 Ὥστε ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν οὐδένα οἴδαμεν κατὰ σάρκα· εἰ καὶ ἐγνώκαμεν κατὰ σάρκα Χριστόν, ἀλλὰ νῦν οὐκέτι γινώσκομεν. |
endeavors to live as a new creature to Christ only, |
and by his ministry of reconciliation, to reconcile others also in Christ to God. |
