2 Corinthians 6

Where much of the world sometimes believe that after we die and cast off this mortal body, we go to heaven as spirits and live happily ever after.  The belief that we will live as spirits is in a sense going backwards, not forward.  Forward would be receiving a incorruptible physical body not losing one.  Paul wrote -

"FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life."  (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 5:1 - 4)

Obviously, after our death we will long to look forward to be clothed with an "eternal house" or resurrected body.   That day will come for all Paul had already presented the different types of resurrected bodies.  Paul even suggested that even in a present corruptible body in which we are burdened, we would still prefer to being a spirit only.

As I read the 6th Chapter of 2nd Corinthians, many of the words and teachings were that of Joseph Smith while in the Liberty Jail (Section 121), where Paul taught that in their ministry -

"But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left..."  (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 6:4 - 7)

The Prophet Joseph Smith wrote -

"No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned;
42 By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile—"  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 121:41 - 42)

And then like Amulek's teachings (Alma 34:32), Paul taught of the Savior -

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"  (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 6:2)

In other words, the Savior is prepared to run to our rescue today.
