We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
