2 Corinthians 5:8 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5
6 Nous sommes donc toujours pleins de confiance, et nous savons qu’en demeurant dans ce corps nous demeurons loin du Seigneur,
7 car nous marchons par la foi et non par la vue,
8 nous sommes pleins de confiance, et nous aimons mieux quitter ce corps et demeurer auprès du Seigneur.
9 C’est pour cela aussi que nous nous efforçons de lui être agréables, soit que nous demeurions dans ce corps, soit que nous le quittions.
10 Car il nous faut tous comparaître devant le tribunal de Christ, afin que chacun reçoive selon le bien ou le mal qu’il aura fait, étant dans son corps.
