5 We know that when the temporary, earthly home (our body) that we live in is demolished, we will have a building from God that’s not built by human hands—an eternal house in the heavens. 2 Actually, that’s also why we groan—wanting to be clothed in our heavenly bodies. 3 Yes, once we’re properly dressed we won’t feel naked 4 because while we live in these temporary homes we are groaning. It’s not that we want to dispose of these temporary homes, but we want to be permanently clothed so that our mortal parts might be enveloped by life. 5 It’s God who prepared us for this reason—yes, the one who deposited the spirit into us.

6 Because of that, we’re always confident and known that while we’re at home in our bodies, we are distanced from the master, 7 but we walk by faith and not by how things look. 8 And we do have confidence and look forward to being absent out of these bodies and being at home with the master, 9 so that’s why we’re ambitious to please the master, whether we’re still in these bodily homes or absent from them. 10 [ref]Yes, we must all stand at our court hearing in front of the messiah, so that each of us may receive justice for what we did while in these bodies, whether it was good or evil.
