For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

Explanation preview
Paul writes to the Corinthian church, continuing the image from verse 1, where the body is a temporary tent and the resurrection body is a permanent building from God. Here the groaning is not despair but longing: believers ache under the burdens of mortal life and desire to be clothed with their heavenly dwelling, that is, to receive the resurrection body God has prepared.
