2 Corinthians 5:1-6

Weymouth New Testament WNT

1 For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal.

2 For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--

3 if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.

4 Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.

5 And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.

6 We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from 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.
