2 Corinthians 5:4

---

← 2 Corinthians 5:3	2 Corinthians 5:4 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 5:5 →
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.	For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.	Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

• G4727 — στενάζω (stenázō, sten-ad'-zo): I groan — from στενός; to make (intransitively, be) in straits, i.e. (by implication) to sigh, murmur, pray inaudibly:--with grief, groan, grudge, sigh.
• G5259 — ὑπό (hypó, hoop-o'): by, under, about — a primary preposition; under, i.e. (with the genitive case) of place (beneath), or with verbs (the agency or means, through); (with the accusative case) of place (whither (underneath) or where (below) or time (when (at)):--among, by, from, in, of, under, with. In the comparative, it retains the same general applications, especially of inferior position or condition, and specially, covertly or moderately.
