rsv 2Corinthians:5:1-8 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed ,
we have a building from God ,
a house not made with hands ,
eternal in the heavens .
*
Here indeed we groan ,
and long to put on our heavenly dwelling ,
*
so that by putting it on we may not be found naked .
*
For while we are still in this tent ,
we sigh with anxiety ;
not that we would be unclothed ,
but that we would be further clothed ,
so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life .
*
He who has prepared us for this very thing is God ,
who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee .
*
So we are always of good courage ;
we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord ,
*
for we walk by faith ,
not by sight .
*
We are of good courage ,
and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord .
