2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For indeed, in this [house] we groan, [because we] desire to put on our dwelling from heaven,

3 if indeed, even [after we] have taken [it] off, we will not be found naked.

4 For indeed we who are in this tent groan, being burdened {for this reason, that} we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5 Now the one who has prepared us for this very [thing] [is] God, who has given us the down payment, the Spirit.

6 Therefore, [although we are] always confident and know that [while we] are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

7 for we live by faith, not by sight--

8 so we are confident and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

9 Therefore indeed we have as our ambition, whether at home [in the body] or absent [from the body], to be acceptable to him.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive back the [things] through the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

New International Version NIV

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

2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,

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

4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
