and put His seal upon us, and given us His Spirit in our hearts as a first installment of future rewards.

For in this one I am sighing, because I long to put on, like a robe, my heavenly body, my future home,

and if I do put it on, I shall not find myself to be disembodied.

For I who am still in my tent am sighing beneath my burdens, because I do not want it to be put off but to put on the other over it, so that my dying body may be absorbed in life.

Now it is God Himself who has put the finishing touches on me for this change, because He has given me the Spirit as the first installment of future bliss.

To keep my ministry from being found fault with, I am trying not to put a single hindrance in anybody's way.

obscure and yet well-known, on the point of dying and yet I go on living, punished and yet not put to death,

For you listen to a man, if he makes you his slave, or spends your money for his living, or cheats you, or puts on airs, or slaps you in the face.
