It is only by faith we now walk in this foreign land towards God; we do not as yet feast on Him by any clear view. (Bible de Vence) read more

Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1-8
1-8 The believer not only is well assured by faith that there is another and a happy life after this is ended, but he has good hope, through grace, of heaven as a dwelling-place, a resting-place, a hiding-place. In our Father's house there are many mansions, whose Builder and Maker is God. The happiness of the future state is what God has prepared for those that love him: everlasting habitations, not like the earthly tabernacles, the poor cottages of clay, in which our souls now dwell; that are... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-99
2Co 5 THERE IS NO real break between chapters 4 and 5, for he passes on to show that if our outward man does perish, and so our earthly tabernacle house be dissolved, we are to have a house of another order which shall be eternal. The thought of what is eternal links these verses together. Eternal things are brought within the sight of our faith. An eternal weight of glory awaits us. And we shall need a resurrection body, which shall be eternal, in order to sustain that eternal weight of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Corinthians 5:6-10
Confident of Christ's acceptance: v. 6. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; v. 7. (for we walk by faith, not by sight;) v. 8. we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. v. 9. Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. v. 10. For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that every one may receive... read more

IX.—THE WORTHLESS AND FEEBLE APPEARANCE OF MINISTERS. CONFIDENCE IN VIEW OF THE GLORIOUS RESULT OF THEIR AFFLICTIONS2 Corinthians 4:7 to 2 Corinthians 5:107But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency [exceeding greatness] 8of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side [In every way we are hard pressed], yet not distressed [inextricably straitened]; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Longing to Be “at Home with the Lord” 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 This mortal life is a pilgrimage, and our body is a tent, so slight, so transitory, so easily taken down; but what does it matter, since there is awaiting us a mansion prepared by God? Often in this veil of flesh we groan. It cages us, anchors us down to earth, hampers us with its needs, obstructs our vision, and becomes the medium of temptation. How good it would be if our physical body could be suddenly transmuted into the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21
The vision of the house of God, and the coming at last to the Lord, throws its light on, and explains the value of, the groaning and the burden of the tabernacle, of the period of absence from the Master. "Absent from the body," "at home with the Lord." This reveals the consciousness. No strangeness, no sense of having to keep up an appearance, "at home with the Lord." The passing of all that is strained, and the coming of the perfect ease of naturalness. Surely Paul was right. The affliction... read more
Peter Pett
Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
The Reason Why They Are Setting Their Minds On Things Above (2 Corinthians 5:1-10 ) The thought of looking at what is unseen, rather than at what is seen, now leads on to a consideration of the resurrection of the body. Paul visualises the glorious future that awaits all who are His. Not for the Christian the nakedness of death, but a renewed, spiritual, eternal body in the heavens. read more
Peter Pett
Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:6-8
‘Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord (for we walk by faith, not by sight); 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.’ So Paul is never permanently downhearted. His spirit is always strong. No threat concerns him. He is of good courage. It is true that while we are at home (en-demeo) in the body we are absent, away from home (ek-demeo) from... read more
