4 For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yetD8421 we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.
yet - Or 'though meanwhile,' 'yet in such sort that.' It is a necessary condition of the right understanding of ver. 4. 'Clothed' is the same word as 'to have put on' in ver. 2. For 'groan,' vers. 2 and 4, see Mark 7.34.
