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.
5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also ahas given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.
7 For awe walk by faith, not by sight.
8 We are confident, yes, awell pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.
