American Standard Version
"Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord "
— 2 Corinthians 5:6, American Standard Version
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:”
“Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;”
“Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord–”
“Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in the body we are absent from the Lord.”
“So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,”
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:”
if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
(for we walk by faith, not by sight);
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.
Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
