2 Corinthians 5:5-9

New King James Version

⁵ Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also ^(A)has given us the Spirit as ^[a]a guarantee.

⁶ So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. ⁷ For ^(B)we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ We are confident, yes, ^(C)well 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.
