knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and present us with you.

Being always confident therefore, and knowing that while we are present in the body we are absent from the Lord,??7 we walk by faith, not by sight;??8 but we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord we persuade men, but are made manifest to God; and I hope also to be made manifest in your consciences.
