5 For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

⁶ Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.

⁷ (For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)

⁸ But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

⁹ And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.

¹⁰ For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
