“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:”
Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling — groan (stenazō) expresses the tension between present weakness and future glory. The desire is to be clothed (endysasthai) with the heavenly building, suggesting continuity between earthly embodied self and heavenly resurrection body.
