2 Corinthians 5:1-3
New Testament for Everyone
A house waiting in the heavens
5 For we know that if our earthly house, our present “tent,” is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house no human hands have built: it is everlasting, in the heavenly places. 2 At the present moment, you see, we are groaning, as we long to put on our heavenly building, 3 in the belief that by putting it on we won’t turn out to be naked.

2 Corinthians 5:1-3
New International Version
Awaiting the New Body
5 For we know that if the earthly(A) tent(B) we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan,(C) longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(D) 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
