2 Corinthians 5:1

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.
