For I know, if this earthly tent of mine were struck, I have a mansion built by God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent I am groaning, earnestly longing to be under the cover of my heavenly habitation; if so be that being so covered, I shall not be found naked. read more.
For in this tent of mine I am groaning in deep trouble; not that I wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up in life. And He who has wrought me out for this very end is God, who has given me his Spirit as pledge. Therefore I am always of good courage, because I well know that while I am at home in the body, I am in banishment from the Lord, for I am walking by faith, not by sight. So I have good courage, and am well pleased rather, to be in banishment from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
