ISB ~ 2 Corinthians 5 v4

further clothed:Paul envisions a future life for Christians that is physical and yet immortal. In heaven we will be neither stripped of our bodies (unclothed) nor burdened with their present weaknesses (mortal). We will instead be fitted with glorified bodies made ready for heavenly life (1 Cor 15:5155; Phil 3:20-21). This teaching runs directly against the then-prevalent Greek notion that disembodiment in the next life was the ideal state of existence to be hoped for. For the heavenly state of believers between death and the resurrection of the body, see note on 2 Cor 5:8.
