2 Corinthians 5:4-8

For we who are in this tent groan,

being burdened, not because

we want to be unclothed,

but further clothed,

that mortality may be

 swallowed up by life. 

 Now He who has

prepared us for this

very thing is God,

who also has given us

the Spirit as a gurarantee. 

 So we are always confident,

knowing that while

we are at home in the body

we are absent from the Lord. 

For we walk by faith,

not by sight. 

 We are confident,

yes, well pleased

rather to be absent from the body

and to be present with the Lord.
