1 We know that this tabernacle, that is, our body on earth, where we live, will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will give us a home to live in. This house will not be man-made. This house will be in heaven which is eternal.
2 Corinthians 5: 1

2 But now we are tired of this physical body. We desperately want to cover ourselves with our heavenly home.
2 Corinthians 5: 2

3 It will cover us, and we will not be naked.
2 Corinthians 5: 3

4 As long as we live in this tent, we have problems and we complain. I do not mean that we want to get rid of this tent, but we want to be right with our heavenly tent. Then this dying body will be completely filled with life.
2 Corinthians 5: 4

5 That is why God created us. And he has given us a soul as a guarantee that he will give us this new life.
2 Corinthians 5: 5

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that we are far from the Lord as long as we live in this body.
2 Corinthians 5: 6

7 We live with what we believe in, not what we see.
2 Corinthians 5: 7

8 That is why I say we believe. And we really want to leave this body and live in the presence of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5: 8

9 Our only goal is to please God. Wherever we are, whether we are here in the body or there with the Lord, our desire is to please Him.
2 Corinthians 5: 9

10 We must all stand before Christ for judgment. Everyone will receive what he deserves. Whatever he did while living in this physical body, whether it was good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10
