The Temporal and Eternal
5For we know that if 1the aearthly btent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house cnot made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 6Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that awhile we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— 8we are of good courage and aprefer rather to be absent from the body and bto be at home with the Lord.
