2 Corinthians 5:5-8

21st Century King James Version

⁵ Now He that hath wrought us for this selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the pledge of the Spirit.

⁶ Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst 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 confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
