2 Corinthians 5:4 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5
2 Porque nesta [casa] gememos, desejando sermos revestidos de nossa habitação do céu;
3 Dado que, se estivermos vestidos, não seremos achados nus.
4 Pois de fato nós, os que estamos neste tabernáculo, gememos pressionados, não porque queremos ser despidos, mas sim, revestidos; para que a mortalidade seja devorada pela vida.
5 E para isto mesmo que Deus nos preparou, ele que também deu o penhor do Espírito.
6 Por isso sempre temos confiança, e sabemos que, enquanto habitarmos no corpo, estamos ausentes do Senhor.
