2 Corinthians 5:6-9

6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while 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 of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
