2 Corinthians 5:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

⁵ Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.

⁶ Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
