Re: ok, we can start again.

Praying for you DS2! These earthly bodies of ours can cause us a whole lot of trouble, can't they?

But as you said, nothing is impossible with God, so keep fighting and taking one day at a time!

I never use the NLT translation. Makes me think of this comic. :):

But for this particular passage, I like how the NLT has translated it:

2 Cor. 5:

New Bodies
5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. Tweet
