2 Corinthians 5:7 WEB

⁵  Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

⁶  Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, while 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  Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
