2 Corinthians 5:2-8

2For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling,

3if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked.

4For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.

6Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord –

7for we live by faith, not by sight.

8Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
