The Temporal and Eternal

5 For we know that if ^[a]the ^(A)earthly ^(B)tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house ^(C)not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For indeed in this we ^(D)groan, longing to be ^(E)clothed with our dwelling from heaven, ³ inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked. ⁴ For indeed while we are in this tent, we ^(F)groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be ^(G)clothed, so that what is ^(H)mortal will be swallowed up by life. ⁵ Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who ^(I)gave to us the Spirit as a ^[b]pledge.
