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.

Roma 8:23

8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, ³  groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, ⁴  the redemption of our bodies. ⁵ 

[5:4]  ¹ sn See the note in 5:1 on the phrase the tent we live in.

[5:4]  ² tn Or “we are burdened.”

[8:23]  ³ tn Or “who have the Spirit as firstfruits.” The genitive πνεύματος (pneumatos) can be understood here as possessive (“the firstfruits belonging to the Spirit”) although it is much more likely that this is a genitive of apposition (“the firstfruits, namely, the Spirit”); cf. TEV, NLT.

[8:23]  ⁴ tn See the note on “adoption” in v. 15.

[8:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “body.”
