2 Corinthians 5:6 in Context (Verses 3–9 KJV)
3
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
