Bible Reading for November 27

2 Corinthians 4
[1] Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint
not;
[2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of
the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
[3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the
god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the
light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them. [5] For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
[6] 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.
[7] But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of us. [8] We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
[9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10] 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. [11] 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. [12] So then death worketh in us, but life in
you. [13] We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I
believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
[14] Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by
Jesus, and shall present us with you. [15] For all things are for your sakes,
that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the
glory of God. [16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man
perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory; [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 5
[1] For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
[2] For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house
which is from heaven:
[3] If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. [4] For we that
are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be
unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
[5] Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath
given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. [6] Therefore we are always confident,
knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
[7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say, and
willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
[9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of
him.
[10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.
[11] Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made
manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
[12] For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to
glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in
appearance, and not in heart.
[13] For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober,
it is for your cause.
[14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one
died for all, then were all dead: [15] 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. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the
flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18]
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] 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.
[20] 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. [21] 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.

2 Corinthians 6
[1] We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not
the grace of God in vain.
[2] (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now
is the day of salvation.)
[3] Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: [4] But in
all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in
afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, [5] In stripes, in imprisonments,
in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
[6] By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy
Ghost, by love unfeigned,
[7] By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left, [8] By honour and dishonour, by evil report
and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
[9] As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as
chastened, and not killed;
[10] As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as
having nothing, and yet possessing all things. [11] O ye Corinthians, our mouth
is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. [12] Ye are not straitened in us, but
ye are straitened in your own bowels. [13] Now for a recompence in the same, (I
speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
[14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
[15] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel?
[16] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [17] Wherefore come
out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will receive you, [18] And will be a Father unto you, and
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
