2 Corinthians 5:2 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5

1 Nous savons, en effet, que, si cette tente où nous habitons sur la terre est détruite, nous avons dans le ciel un édifice qui est l’ouvrage de Dieu, une demeure éternelle qui n’a pas été faite de main d’homme.

2 Aussi nous gémissons dans cette tente, désirant revêtir notre domicile céleste,

3 si du moins nous sommes trouvés vêtus et non pas nus.

4 Car tandis que nous sommes dans cette tente, nous gémissons, accablés, parce que nous voulons, non pas nous dépouiller, mais nous revêtir, afin que ce qui est mortel soit englouti par la vie.
