2 Corinthians 5:4-6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 While we are in this house, we cry and are troubled. It is not that we want to move out of this house, but we want to move into the other one. Then this body which will die will be changed into one which will live.
5 God is the one who has made us ready for this change. He has already given us the Spirit. This is the first part of what we are to receive, and it proves that we will get more.
6 So we always feel sure. While we live in our bodies we are not in our house with the Lord. We know that.

2 Corinthians 5:4-6
New International Version
4 For while we are in this tent, we groan(A) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(B) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(C)
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
