2 Corinthians 5:4-7

English Standard Version

⁴ For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal ^(A)may be swallowed up by life. ⁵ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, ^(B)who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.^[a]

⁶ So we are always of good courage. We know that ^(C)while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for ^(D)we walk by faith, not ^(E)by sight.
