2 Corinthians 5:8 Context
6Therefore we are alwayes confident, knowing that whilest wee are at home in the body, wee are absent from the Lord. 7(For we walke by faith, not by sight.) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9Wherefore we labour, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10For we must all appeare before the iudgement seat of Christ, that euery one may receiue the things done in his body, according to that hee hath done, whether it be good or bad.
