2 Corinthians 5:1-9

1For we knowG3609 that ifG1437 1the 2earthlyG1919 3tentG4636 which is our houseG3624 is tornG2647 downG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 from GodG2316, a houseG3624 4not madeG886 with handsG886, eternalG166 in the heavensG3772. 2For indeedG2532 in thisG3778 house we 5groanG4727, longingG1971 to be 6clothedG1902 with our dwellingG3613 from heavenG3772, 3inasmuchG1489 as we, having putG1746 it on, will not be foundG2147 nakedG1131. 4For indeedG2532 while we are in thisG3588 tentG4636, we 7groanG4727, being burdenedG916, becauseG1909G3739 we do not wantG2309 to be unclothedG1562 but to be 8clothedG1902, soG2443 that whatG2349 is 9mortalG2349 will be swallowedG2666 up by lifeG2222. 5NowG1161 He who preparedG2716 us for thisG3778 veryG846 purpose is GodG2316, who 10gaveG1325 to us the SpiritG4151 as a 11pledgeG728.

6ThereforeG3767, being alwaysG3842 of goodG2292 courageG2292, and knowingG3609 that 12while we are at homeG1736 in the bodyG4983 we are absentG1553 from the LordG2962-- 7for 13we walkG4043 by faithG4102, not by 14sightG1491-- 8we are of goodG2292 courageG2292, I say, and 15preferG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 from the bodyG4983 and 16to be at homeG1736 with the LordG2962. 9ThereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 haveG5389 as our ambitionG5389, whetherG1535 at homeG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, to be 17pleasingG2101 to Him.
