The God of resurrection will also raise us and present us to himself with all believers (4:14 ). The immediate stimulus for this statement of resurrection hope was what Paul had to face in Ephesus (1:8-11 ). The frailty of his body reminded him of what lies beyond death, when this earthly tent we live in — that is, our body—will be taken down in death and dissolution (see 1 Cor 15:42-57 ; Phil 3:20-21 ).
