47:005:001 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
47:005:002 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
47:005:003 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
47:005:004 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
47:005:005 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who
also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
47:005:006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are
at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
47:005:007 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
47:005:008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from
the body, and to be present with the Lord.
47:005:009 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may
be accepted of him.
47:005:010 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
