NASB
"we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord."
— 2 Corinthians 5:8, NASB
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
“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. ”
“We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.”
“Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.”
“But we are confident and have a good will to be absent rather from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
“We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.”
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while 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 prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
