2 Korintus 5:4

5:4 For we groan while we are in this tent, ¹  since we are weighed down, ²  because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

2 Korintus 5:1

Living by Faith, Not by Sight

5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, ³  is dismantled, ⁴  we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.

1 Korintus 15:53-54

15:53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 15:54 Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen,
