As given to me, The Gospel according to 2 cor

As given to me 2 Cor and the Gospel of and in Christ

Now HE which established us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.....for by faith we stand.
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ,

Not as the many, peddling the Word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God. We speak in Christ, in the sight of God. Forasmuch as we are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, written not with ink, BUT WITH the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made US able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we ALL, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, AS WE HAVE RECEIVED mercy, we faint not. That the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them who are in and of the world. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves THEIR servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that WE might BE MADE the righteousness of God IN Him.

We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured (helped) thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

(2Co 1:20-24; 2:14-15,16-17; 3:3-6,17-18; 4:1,4-7,10-16; 5:14-15,17-21;6:1-2)
 
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we ALL, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Its true, the spirit of the Lord is liberty, without the Holy Spirit things will be really bad, during the rapture the Holy Spirit will leave the earth and things will be hundreds of times worse.
