2 Corinthians 5:1-8

The Darby Translation DBY

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

2 For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;

3 if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5 Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,

7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight;)

8 we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.

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.
