1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God-The Father, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that has wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God-The Father, who also has given unto us the earnest of the Spirit [Ruach].
6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord - Kurios:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord - Kurios.
9 For what reason we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Moshiach [Messiah]; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he has done, whether [it be] good or bad.
