Scripture focus
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.
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 — KJV
Always confident. There was never the least doubt in Paul’s mind concerning the certainty of the resurrection (see on v. 14).
The body. Or, the “earthly house” (see on v. 1).
Absent from the Lord. That is, not in His immediate presence, not yet “clothed upon” with the “house which is from heaven” (v. 2), not able to see Him “face to face” (1 Cor. 13:12; cf. 3 John 14). See on v. 8.
