ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૫:૮
માટે હિંમતવાન છીએ અને શરીરથી અલગ થવું તથા પ્રભુની પાસે વાસો કરવો એ અમને વધારે પસંદ છે.
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों ५:८
इसलिए हम ढाढ़स बाँधे रहते हैं, और देह से अलग होकर प्रभु के साथ रहना और भी उत्तम समझते हैं।

In context

6Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

7for we walk by faith, not by sight.

8We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

10For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
