Etheridge(i)
1 FOR we know that if our earthly house of this body were dissolved, we have nevertheless a building that is by Aloha; a house which is not made with hands, in the heaven, eternal.
2 For concerning this also we groan, and long to put on our house which is from heaven,
3 if, when that we have clothed, we may not be found naked.
4 For now while we are in this house, we groan from the weight of it: yet are we not willing to cast it off, but to be clothed upon of it, that its mortality might be swallowed up in life.
5 And he who prepareth us for this is Aloha, who hath given to us the earnest-pledge of his Spirit.
6 For therefore do we know and are persuaded, that so long as we remain in the body we are in pilgrimage from our Lord.
7 For by faith we walk, and not by sight.
8 On this account we confide, and long to pass away [Or, migrate.] from the body, and to be with our Lord.
