1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent, should be torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For also in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling that is from heaven, 3 if indeed also having been clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For indeed, being in the tent we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that the mortal should be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the One having prepared us for this very thing is God, the One having given to us the pledge of the Spirit, 6 being confident, then, always, and knowing that being at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Now we are confident and we are well pleased rather to be away, out of the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:1-8, Berean Literal Bible.
