2 Corinthians 5:4 Context
2For in this we grone earnestly, desiring to be clothed vpō with our house, which is from heauen. 3If so be that being clothed we shal not be found naked. 4For, we that are in this tabernacle, doe grone, being burdened, not for that wee would bee vnclothed, but clothed vpon, that mortalitie might bee swallowed vp of life. 5Now he þt hath wrought vs for the selfe same thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the spirit. 6Therefore we are alwayes confident, knowing that whilest wee are at home in the body, wee are absent from the Lord.
