2 Corinthians 5:3-5
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.
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.

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

3 if indeed, (A)having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, (B)but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also (C)has given us the Spirit as [a]a guarantee.
