2 Corinthians 5:8

Absent From The Body And At Home With The Lord

⁷ By faith, are we walking, not by sight; - ⁸ We have good courage, however, and are well pleased - rather to be away from home, out of the body, and to come home, unto the Lord. ⁹ Wherefore also we are ambitious - whether at home, or away from home, to be, well-pleasing unto him.
