2 Corinthians 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:6-8

1 We know that when the tent which houses us here on earth is torn down, we have a permanent building from God, a building not made by human hands, to house us in heaven.

6 So we are always confident - we know that so long as we are at home in the body, we are away from our home with the Lord;

7 for we live by trust, not by what we see.

8 We are confident, then, and would much prefer to leave our home in the body and come to our home with the Lord.
