2 Corinthians 5:1-5
New American Standard Bible
The Temporal and Eternal
5 For we know that if our [a](A)earthly (B)tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house (C)not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For indeed, in this tent we (D)groan, longing to be (E)clothed with our [b]dwelling from heaven, 3 since in fact after putting it on, we will not be found naked. 4 For indeed, we who are in this tent (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 us the Spirit as a [c]pledge.

2 Corinthians 5:1-5
International Standard Version
5 We know that if the earthly tent we live in is torn down, we have a building in heaven that comes from God, an eternal house not built by human[a] hands. 2 For in this one we sigh, since we long to put on our heavenly dwelling. 3 Of course, if we do put it on, we will not be found without a body.[b] 4 So while we are still in this tent, we sigh under our burdens, because we do not want to put it off but to put it on, so that our dying bodies may be swallowed up by life. 5 God has prepared us for this and has given us his Spirit as a guarantee.
