2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Our Eternal Dwelling

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.

1:

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

2:

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

3:

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.

4:

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:

6:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

7:

8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

8:

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

9:

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.

10:
