2 Corinthians 5:8

Absent From The Body And At Home With The Lord

⁷ For we walk in faith and see not. ⁸ Nevertheless we are of good comfort, and had rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. ⁹ Wherefore, whether we be at home, or from home, we endeavor our selves to please him.
