2 Corinthians 5:2-5 It makes me sigh indeed, this yearning to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation,

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It makes me sigh indeed, this yearning to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation, ³ since I am sure that once so covered I shall not be 'naked' at the hour of death. ⁴ I do sigh within this tent of mine with heavy anxiety — not that I want to be stripped, no, but to be under the cover of the other, to have my mortal element absorbed by life. ⁵ I am prepared for this change by God, who has given me the Spirit as its pledge and instalment.
