2 Corinthians 5:2-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
We Do Indeed Groan In This Body And Would Prefer To Get Home To The Lord
2 For indeed in this tent we are groaning, yearning to put-on-over[a] ourselves our dwelling from heaven— 3 inasmuch[b] as we, having taken-off [c] this tent, shall not be found naked[d]. 4 For indeed we, the ones being in the tent[e], are groaning, being burdened, because we do not want to take-off [f] our earthly tent, but to put on our heavenly dwelling over it, in order that the mortal may be swallowed-up by the life.
