New Testament2 CorinthiansOur Eternal Dwelling · 5:1–105:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.5:4 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.5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
