2 Corinthians 5:6-10

Our Heavenly Dwelling

⁶ So we are always of good courage. We know that _r while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for _s we walk by faith, not _t by sight. ⁸ Yes, we are of good courage, and we _u would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to _v please him. ¹⁰ For _w we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, _x so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
