2 Corinthians 5:1–10

For we know that if ^aour earthly house of ^bthis tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house ^cnot made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ²For in this ^dwe groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: ³If so be that ^ebeing clothed we shall not be found naked. ⁴For we that are in ^bthis tabernacle ^ddo groan, being burdened: not ^ffor that ^gwe would be unclothed, ^gbut ^hclothed upon, that mortality might be ^hswallowed up of life. ⁵Now ⁱhe that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath ^kgiven unto us the earnest of the Spirit. ⁶Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ⁷(For ^lwe walk by faith, ^mnot by sight:) ⁸ⁿWe are confident, I say, and ^owilling rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

⁹Wherefore we ^||labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be ^paccepted of him. ¹⁰For we must all appear ^qbefore the judgment seat of Christ; ^rthat every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
