2 Corinthians 5:5-8
5 The one who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a down payment.(A)
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.(B) 8 Yes, we do have confidence, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
