6 So weare always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For Rom. 8:24; Heb. 11:1we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, Phil. 1:23well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.
