2 Corinthians 5:4

First Nations Version

As long as we remain in these tipis of our earthly bodies, we keep groaning with heavy hearts, longing for something more. We do not desire our earthly bodies to be stripped from us, but that we would be fitted with our new bodies. When this happens, these death-doomed bodies of ours will be overtaken with new life.
