2 Corinthians 5:1-5

The reward for suffering trouble.

We know surely that if our earthly abode, the tabernacle we now dwell in, were destroyed, we have an abode prepared by God: a habitation not made with hands, but eternal in heaven. And for this we sigh, desiring to be clothed with our dwelling which is from heaven – if yet we be found clothed, and not naked. For as long as we are in this tabernacle, we sigh and are grieved. For we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, so that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

He who has ordained us for this thing is God, the very same who has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
