然吾人總覺坦然無懼、怡然而喜、恨不得即離此軀壳之逆旅、而返我真宅以承慈顏。

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.

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.

according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.But I am hard pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes.

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—

I know a man in Christ, who fourteen years ago— whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows— such a man was caught up to the third heaven.And I know how such a man— whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—

Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.You will guide me with Your plan, And afterward receive me to glory.Whom do I have in heaven but You? And with You, I desire nothing on earth.My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be.

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

You will make known to me the way of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

“ Now, Lord, You are letting Your bond servant depart in peace, According to Your word;

Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’

His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’

Then we who are alive, who remain, 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, comfort one another with these words.

There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond servants will serve Him;

I said to him,“ My lord, you know.” And he said to me,“ These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have 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; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.They will no longer hunger nor thirst, nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat;for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
