2 Corinthians 5:8 in the King James Version
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Context
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 We are courageous, 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.
