2 Corinthians 5:1-7 ▼

1 For we have known that if the tent of our earthly house may be thrown down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands—perpetual—in the heavens,

2 for also in this we groan, earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves with our dwelling that is from Heaven,

3 if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we will not be found naked,

4 for we also who are in the tent groan, being burdened, seeing we do not wish to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of life.

5 And He who worked us to this very thing [is] God, who also gave to us the deposit of the Spirit;

6 having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the LORD—

7 for we walk through faith, not through sight—
