1 For we knowe, that yf our earthly house of this tabernacle were destroyed, we haue a building of God, an habitation not made with handes, but eternall in heauen. 2 For therfore sygh we, desiryng to be clothed with our house whiche is from heauen: 3 So yet, yf that we be founde clothed, and not naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle sigh, & being burdened because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpo, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of lyfe. 5 He that hath ordeyned vs for this thyng is God, which hath also geuen vnto vs the earnest of the spirite. 6 Therfore we are alway of good cheare, and knowe, that as long as we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lorde. 7 (For we walke by fayth, not after outwarde appearaunce.) 2 Corinthians 5:1-7, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
