⁵³ for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality;

² for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

³ if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

⁴ for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

¹² the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires.

²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
