2 Corinthians 5:1-4

Our Heavenly Dwelling

¹ For we know that if _a our earthly ₁ house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house _b not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this _c we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our ₂ habitation which is from heaven, ³ if indeed, _d having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. ⁴ For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, _e but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
