2 Corinthians 5:1. 6-10
A reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians
For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building
from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. So we are always courageous,
although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we
walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and
go home to the Lord. Therefore, we aspire to please him, whether we are at home or away.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive
recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.
The Word of the Lord
