Bible in Basic English
"So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,"
— 2 Corinthians 5:6, Bible in Basic English
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:”
“Being therefore always of good courage, and 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–”
So that our spirits may not be unclothed.
For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.
Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.
So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,
(For we are walking by faith, not by seeing,)
We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.
For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.
