AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:9 Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth] or away from home [and with Him], it is our [constant] ambition to be pleasing to Him. |
Bible Question: I think Paul said, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord Jesus". I gather that is why he did not fear death, which I think is pretty cool. I'm having a tough time finding it in the Bible. I guess I don't have the correct key words to complete a successful search. Can you help me. Thanks, Wordnut. |
Bible Answer: Scrtipture ... 2 Cor 5:6-9 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while 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 of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. Wordnut, read the context (vv 1-9). Searcher |
