2 Corinthians 5:1-8 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For also in this we groan, longing to clothe ourselves with our habitation from heaven, ³ if indeed also having put it on we will not be found naked. ⁴ For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life. ⁵ Now he who wrought us for this same thing is God, who also gave us the pledge of the Spirit. ⁶ Therefore always being confident, and knowing that while at home in the body we are absent from the Lord, ⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ And we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be at home near the Lord.
