Methodius of Olympus — on 2Cor 5:2 (Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection)

Patristic A.D. 311
Methodius of Olympus · c. A.D. 260–311
“For what the Lord then called "habitations," the apostle here calls "clothing." And what He there calls "friends" "of unrighteousness," the apostle here calls "houses" "dissolved." ... Whence also "we groan," "not for that we would be unclothed," as to the body, "but clothed upon" by it in the other life. For the "house in heaven," with which we desire to be "clothed," is immortality; with which, when we are clothed, every weakness and mortality will be entirely "swallowed up" in it, being consumed by endless life.”
