1 For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For also in this we groan, longing to have our dwelling from heaven put on: 3 If also being even clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For also being in the tent we groan, being loaded: since we wish not to be unclothed, but to be clothed, that the mortal should be swallowed up of life. 5 And he having brought us about to this same, God, he having also given us the pledge of the Spirit. 6 Therefore being always confident, and knowing that, being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, and not by external appearance:) 2 Corinthians 5:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
