2 Corinthians 5:5 in context
2 Corinthians 5:2–8
2
For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
3

4
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5
Selected verse
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6

8
