2 Corinthians 5:6-9

6ThereforeG3767, being alwaysG3842 of goodG2292 courageG2292, and knowingG3609 that 1while we are at homeG1736 in the bodyG4983 we are absentG1553 from the LordG2962--

7for 2we walkG4043 by faithG4102, not by 3sightG1491--

8we are of goodG2292 courageG2292, I say, and 4preferG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 from the bodyG4983 and 5to be at homeG1736 with the LordG2962.

9ThereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 haveG5389 as our ambitionG5389, whetherG1535 at homeG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, to be 6pleasingG2101 to Him.
