2 Corinthians 5:6-8
(New Living Translation)
6
So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these
bodies we are not at home with the Lord.
7
For we live by believing and not by seeing.
8
Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for
then we will be at home with the Lord.
