For in this one I am sighing, because I long to put on, like a robe, my heavenly body, my future home,

So I am always cheerful and confident, although I know that as long as I am at home in the body I am away from home and the Lord

For see what this very sorrow, suffered in accordance with the will of God, has done for you! How earnest it has made you, how concerned to clear yourselves, how indignant, how alarmed, how much it made you long to see me, how loyal to me, how determined to punish the offender! At every point you have cleared yourselves in the matter.
