2 Corinthians 5:7 ASV

⁵  Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

⁶  Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord

⁷  (for we walk by faith, not by sight);

⁸  we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁹  Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
