4For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
5Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
8we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
9Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
10For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
