2 Corinthians 5:6

Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth ¹  we are absent from the Lord –

Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—

So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

That's why we live with such good cheer. You won't see us drooping our heads or dragging our feet! Cramped conditions here don't get us down. They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead.

So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—

So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth ¹  we are absent from the Lord –

¹ tn Grk “we know that being at home in the body”; an idiom for being alive (L&N 23.91).
