# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|

Paul continues by contrasting believers' earthly bodies to the heavenly ones God will give.
|
|
|
|
# if the earthly dwelling that we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God
|
|
|
|
Here a temporary "earthly dwelling" is a metaphor for a person's physical body. Here a permanent "building from God" is a metaphor for the new body that God will give believers after they die. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

|
# if the earthly dwelling that we live in is destroyed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "if people destroy the earthly dwelling that we live in" or "if people kill our bodies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# It is a house not made by human hands
|
|
|
|
Here "house" means the same thing as "building from God." Here "hands" is a synecdoche that represents the human as a whole. This can be stated in active form. AT: "It is a house that humans did not make" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

|
|
# in this tent we groan
|
|
|
|
Here "this tent" means the same thing as "the earthly dwelling that we live in." The word groan is a sound that a person makes when they eagerly desire to have something that is good.

|
# longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling
|
|
|
|
The words "our heavenly dwelling" means the same thing as "building from God." Paul speaks of the new body that believers receive after they die as if it were both a building and a piece of clothing that a person can put on. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# by putting it on
|
|
|
|
"by putting on our heavenly dwelling"
|
|
|
|
# we will not be found to be naked
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "we will not be naked" or "God will not find us naked" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
