2Corinthians:5:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For we know that if the earthy house of this our tabernacle were dissolved ,
we have a building of God ,
a house not made with hands ,
everlasting ,
in the heavens .
*
For ,
indeed ,
in this we groan ,
earnestly desiring to be invested with our heavenly mansion .
*
And surely ,
being thus invested ,
we shall not be found naked .
*
For ,
indeed ,
we that are in this tabernacle do groan ,
being burdened :
not that we desire to be divested ,
but invested :
that mortality may be swallowed up by life .
*
Now he who has wrought us up to this very desire ,
is God ,
who has also given us the earnest of the Spirit .
*
We are ,
therefore ,
always courageous ;
knowing that while at home in the body ,
we are absent from the Lord :
* (
for we walk by faith ,
not by sight .)
*
We are courageous ,
indeed ,
and desirous rather to be absent from the body ,
and to be present with the Lord .
*
Therefore ,
also ,
we strive earnestly ,
whether at home ,
or from home ,
to be acceptable to him .
*
For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ ,
that every one may receive the things done in the body ,
according to what has been done ,
whether good or evil .
