We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Wir sind aber getrost und haben vielmehr Lust, außer dem Leibe zu wallen und daheim zu sein bei dem HERRN.
Mas confiamos, y más quisiéramos partir del cuerpo, y estar presentes al Señor.
Tenemos confianza y preferimos estar ausentes del cuerpo y habitar con el Señor.
nous sommes pleins de confiance, et nous aimons mieux quitter ce corps et demeurer auprès du Seigneur.
Ma noi abbiamo confidanza, ed abbiamo molto più caro di partire dal corpo, e di andare ad abitar col Signore.
Mas temos confiança e desejamos antes deixar este corpo, para habitar com o Senhor.
我們勇敢,更情願離開身體,與主同住。
