For indeed in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling-place out of Heaven;
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.
Behold, I speak a mystery to you; we shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed;
For I am pressed together by the two: having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.
