2 Corinthians 5:2-8

2We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing.

3For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.

4While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life.

5God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

6So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

7For we live by believing and not by seeing.

8Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
