2 Corinthians 5:1-10 - Absent From The Body And At Home With The Lord
1 For we know that if our earthly house of the tent were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For also in this we groan, longing to have our dwelling from heaven put on: 3 If also being even clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For also being in the tent we groan, being loaded: since we wish not to be unclothed, but to be clothed, that the mortal should be swallowed up of life. 5 And he having brought us about to this same, God, he having also given us the pledge of the Spirit.
6 Therefore being always confident, and knowing that, being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, and not by external appearance:) 8 And we are confident, and are contented rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home in the Lord. 9 Wherefore also let us seek the honour, whether being at home, whether being absent, to be pleasing to him. 10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ; that each might receive the things for the body, for what he did, good or bad.
