2 Corinthians 5:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life. ⁵ God has formed us for that very purpose. He has given us the Holy Spirit as a down payment. The Spirit makes us sure of what is still to come.

⁶ So here is what we can always be certain about. As long as we are at home in our bodies, we are away from the Lord.
