“Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:”
Verse in context — 2 Corinthians 5
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.
5
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6
Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8
We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
