"For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling,"
— 2 Corinthians 5:2, NET Bible
“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:”
“For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven: ”
“For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;”
“For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.”
“For in this we are crying in weariness, greatly desiring to be clothed with our house from heaven:”
“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:”
Living by Faith, Not by Sight For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.
For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling,
if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked.
For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.
