2 Corinthians 5:6

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:8

8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

2 Corinthians 7:16

16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.

2 Corinthians 10:1

1 By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away!

2 Corinthians 10:2

2 I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.
