2 Corinthians 5:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by ^[a]sight); ⁸ we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. ⁹ Wherefore also we ^[b]make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
