2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
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 he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
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, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
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.
