2 Corinthians 5:8 - Exposition
To be absent, etc.; literally, to be away from the home of the body, but to be at home with the Lord . To be present with the Lord. The hope expressed is exactly the same as in Philippians 1:23 , except that here (as in Philippians 1:4 ) he expresses a desire not "to depart," but to be quit of the body without the necessity for death.
