2 Corinthians 4:18-5:7

MNT(i) 18 while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal. 5 1 For I know, if this earthly tent of mine were struck, I have a mansion built by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent I am groaning, earnestly longing to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation; if so be that being so covered, 3 I shall not be found naked. 4 For in this tent of mine I am groaning in deep trouble; not that I wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life. 5 And He who has wrought me out for this very end is God, who has given me his Spirit as pledge. 6 Therefore I am always of good courage, because I well know that while I am at home in the body, I am in banishment from the Lord, 7 for I am walking by faith, not by sight.
