2 Corinthians 5:5-8

English Standard Version

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

⁶ So we are always of good courage. We know that ^(B)while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for ^(C)we walk by faith, not ^(D)by sight. ⁸ Yes, we are of good courage, and we ^(E)would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
