5 For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

² For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.

⁶ Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.

⁷ (For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)

⁸ But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
