2Corinthians:5:1-5
noyes@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know that, if our earthly tent–habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens.
noyes@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;
noyes@2Corinthians:5:3 @ since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.
noyes@2Corinthians:5:4 @ 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.
noyes@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.
