‏ 2 Corinthians 5:1

Living by Faith, Not by Sight

1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, ^{▼▼sn The expression the tent we live in refers to “our earthly house, our body.” Paul uses the metaphor of the physical body as a house or tent, the residence of the immaterial part of a person.} is dismantled, ^{▼▼tn Or “destroyed.”} we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.
