For indeedwhile we are in thistent,we groan,being burdened,becausewe do not wantto be unclothedbut to be clothed,sothat what is mortalwill be swallowedup by life.
He will swallowup deathfor alltime,And the LordGODwill wipetearsawayfrom allfaces,And He will removethe reproachof His peoplefrom allthe earth;For the LORDhas spoken.
"Like a shepherd'stentmy dwellingis pulledup and removedfrom me; As a weaverI rolledup my life.He cutsme offfrom the loom;From dayuntilnightYou makean endof me.
And not onlythis, but alsowe ourselves,havingthe first fruitsof the Spirit,evenwe ourselvesgroanwithinourselves,waiting eagerlyfor [our] adoption as sons,the redemptionof our body.
Behold,I tellyou a mystery;we will not allsleep,but we will allbe changed,
For indeedin this[house] we groan,longingto be clothedwith our dwellingfrom heaven,
inasmuchas we, having putit on, will not be foundnaked.
I considerit right,as longas I amin this[earthly] dwelling,to stiryou up by wayof reminder,
