2 Corinthians 5:4-10
-
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
-
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
-
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst 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 confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
-
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
-
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
