We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

We are certain about that. We would rather be away from our bodies and at home with the Lord.

Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

but we are of good courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

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.

and we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and at home with the Lord.

We are confident,[ I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all courage, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.I am torn between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ— which is far better—but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

So we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

I know a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.I know that this man— whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know; God knows—

Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to him.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.There is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me, but to all those who have loved his appearing.

Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me up in glory.Who do I have in heaven but you? And I desire nothing on earth but you.My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever.

since I know that I will soon lay aside my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has indeed made clear to me.And I will also make every effort so that you are able to recall these things at any time after my departure.

If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.

Then Paul replied,“ What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.

Now, Master, you can dismiss your servant in peace, as you promised.

“ Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they will see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the world’s foundation.

But I will see your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with your presence.

Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godlinessas you wait for the day of God and hasten its coming. Because of that day, the heavens will be dissolved with fire and the elements will melt with heat.

“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.’

“ His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy.’

Then we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.Therefore encourage one another with these words.

and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him.

I said to him,“ Sir, you know.” Then he told me: These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. The one seated on the throne will shelter them:They will no longer hunger; they will no longer thirst; the sun will no longer strike them, nor will any scorching heat.For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will shepherd them; he will guide them to springs of the waters of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
