4. While we live in this body, we have burdens, and we complain. We do not want to be naked. We want to be clothed with our heavenly home. Then this body that dies will be fully covered with life.
5. This is what God made us for. And he has given us the Spirit to be a guarantee for this new life.
6. So we always have courage. We know that while we live in this body, we are away from the Lord.
7. We live by what we believe, not by what we can see.
