Assurance of the Resurrection
1 For we know that if aour earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house bnot made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this awe groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our1 habitation which is from heaven,
3 if indeed, ahaving been clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, abut further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

II Corinthians 5:1-5
So, Paul says the same thing as Peter. Our earthly houses—our bodies—are temporary dwellings, and we look forward to the time when mortality is swallowed up by life—eternal life—and the problems of this physical existence have ceased.
