Read in context — 2 Corinthians 5
5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
