The continuation of this reading is the one I wrote about here (they also have verse 10 in common):

2 Corinthians V, 1, 2 — 'ἡμῶν' — 'emon' — 'us' (our, ours).
2 Corinthians V, 3 — 'οὐ γυμνοὶ' — 'ou gymnoi' — were not clothed only in underwear
.
2 Corinthians V, 5, 10 — 'ἡμᾶς' — 'emas' — 'us'. 'ἡμῖν' — 'emin' — 'us'.
2 Corinthians V, 6 — 'θαρροῦντες' — 'tharrountes' — 'being bold, of good courage'.
The apostle Paul speaks figuratively of the body after the resurrection and putting on incorruption
as a heavenly building from God. It is a very profound place, and at the same time extremely figurative.
The apostle compares the present life in the earthly body to the life in the resurrected body (full life with God) as an absence or a journey — while we live in the present body, we are travelling, we are not at home
in relation to the resurrection in God. And this latter causes the faithful to have a great desire to be with God.
It is the putting on of incorruption
(in the immediate vicinity of the resurrection, but after it) that Paul describes here as life will eat, swallow, devour mortal things
(as if it were food or drink).
Immediately he speaks of the same thing, but in a completely different way — through the deposit (something given in advance to establish trust, a relationship of confidence, incompletely, partially) of the Spirit
. Combined, we can say that the Spirit 'swallows
the mortal in people. This is also evidenced by the sacrifice of the prophet Elijah, about which I wrote more here:

Jesus sends the 12 apostles out to preach and gives them instructions. It is shorter here than in other places, which I wrote about at the following links:
