1Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
“For we know that if the tent, that is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
“For we know that if the earthly tent, which is our house, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
“we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God and house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.”
2For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.”
“for in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation, which is from heaven.”
“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house, which is from heaven.”

3because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
“If so be that being clothed, we shall not be found naked.”
“If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.”
“If indeed having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.”
“If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.”
“If indeed by putting it on, we may not be found naked.”
“If so be that being clothed, we shall not be found naked.”
4So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
“For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.”
“For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened. Not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.”
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened. Not for that we would be unclothed, but closed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.”
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan being burdened not for that we would be unclothed but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life.”
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan being burdened. Not for that we would be unclothed but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life.”
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan being burdened not for that we would be unclothed but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life”
5And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
“Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.”
“Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the spirit as a guarantee.”
“He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the spirit as a guarantee.”

“Now, he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the spirit.”

6Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
“So, we are always confident knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord,”

“we are confident, I say, and willing, rather, to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord,”
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
“We are confident, I say, and willing, rather, to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”

11Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.

“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
