2 Corinthians 5:1-4

¹Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

²For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

³because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

⁴So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
