2 Corinthians 5:1-9

1ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG1473 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 ofG1537 this tabernacleG3588G4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 of GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG886, eternalG166 inG1722 the heavensG3588G3772.

2ForG1063 inG1722 thisG3778 we groanG4727, earnestly desiringG1971 to be clothed uponG1902 with ourG1473 houseG3588G3613 which is fromG1537 heavenG3772:

3IfG1489 so be thatG2532 being clothedG1746 we shallG2147 notG3756 be foundG2147 nakedG1131.

4ForG2532G1063 we that areG3588G1510 inG1722 this tabernacleG3588G4636 do groanG4727, being burdenedG916: notG3756 forG1909 thatG3739 we wouldG2309 be unclothedG1562, butG235 clothed uponG1902, thatG2443 mortalityG3588G2349 might be swallowed upG2666 ofG5259 lifeG3588G2222.

5NowG1161 he thatG3588 hath wroughtG2716 usG1473 forG1519 the selfsameG846 thingG3778 is GodG2316, whoG3588 alsoG2532 hath givenG1325 unto usG1473 the earnestG3588G728 of the SpiritG3588G4151.

6ThereforeG3767 we are alwaysG3842 confidentG2292, knowingG1492 thatG3754, whilstG2532 we are at homeG1736 inG1722 the bodyG3588G4983, we are absentG1553 fromG575 the LordG3588G2962:

7(ForG1063 we walkG4043 byG1223 faithG4102, notG3756 byG1223 sightG1491:)

8We are confidentG2292, I say, andG2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG3588G2962.

9WhereforeG1352 we labourG5389, thatG2532, whetherG1535 presentG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, we may beG1510 acceptedG2101 of himG846.
