2 Corinthians 5:8LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 8 of 21
"We are confident, , and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
In context
6Therefore 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:)
8We are confident, , 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 appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.
