2 Corinthians 5:4-6
American Standard Version
4 For indeed we that are in this [a]tabernacle do groan, [b]being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord

2 Corinthians 5:4-6
New International Version
2 Corinthians 5:4-6
New International Version
4 For while we are in this tent, we groan(A) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(B) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(C)
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
