Paul continues by contrasting believers' earthly bodies to the heavenly ones God will give.

# our earthly house—the tent—is destroyed, we have a building from God

Here a temporary "house" or "tent" is a metaphor for a person's physical body and a permanent "building from God" is a metaphor for the new body that God will give believers after they die. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "if people destroy our earthly house—the tent—we have" or "if people kill our bodies, we have" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# It is a house not made by human hands
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
Here "house" means the same thing as "building from God." Here "hands" is a synecdoche that represents the human as a whole. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "It is a house that humans did not make" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
