  • 2 Cor 4:18-5:7 : 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 1 For we know that if our earthly body, this tabernacle, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling which is from heaven: 3 If indeed, being clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tabernacle groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, so that mortality might be swallowed up by life. 5 Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
