2Cor 5:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : He repeats, 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 (2 Corinthians 5:4 ). Christians do not simply want to escape from their bodies. Instead, they desire the new life that God promises, where death is replaced by eternal life. While we live in this world, we feel pain and sorrow, but we are waiting for something much better.
