2Corinthians:5:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved ,
we have a building of God ,
an house not made with hands ,
eternal in the heavens .
*
For in this we groan ,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven :
*
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked .
*
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan ,
being burdened :
not for that we would be unclothed ,
but clothed upon ,
that mortality might be swallowed up of life .
*
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God ,
who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit .
*
Therefore we are always confident ,
knowing that ,
whilst we are at home in the body ,
we are absent from the Lord :
* (
For we walk by faith ,
not by sight :)
*
We are confident ,
I say ,
and willing rather to be absent from the body ,
and to be present with the Lord .
*
Wherefore we labour ,
that ,
whether present or absent ,
we may be accepted of him .
*
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body ,
according to that he hath done ,
whether it be good or bad .
