Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us, in a higher and still higher degree, an everlasting weight of glory; ¹⁸ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are but for a time; but the things which are not seen are ever lasting. ⁵ ¹ For we know that, if our earthly tenthabitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. ² For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven; ³ since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. ⁵ Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge. ⁶ We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; ⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage, ⁸ and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
