* For we know that if our earthly house , this tent , is destroyed , we have a building from God , a house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . * For in this we groan , earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven , * if indeed , having been clothed , we shall not be found naked . * For we who are in this tent groan , being burdened , not because we want to be unclothed , but further clothed , that mortality may be swallowed up by life . * Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God , who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee . * So we are always confident , knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord . * For we walk by faith , not by sight . * We are confident , yes , well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord . * Therefore we make it our aim , whether present or absent , to be well pleasing to Him . * For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ , that each one may receive the things done in the body , according to what he has done , whether good or bad .
