we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

θαρρουμεν δε και επιθυμουμεν μαλλον να αποδημησωμεν απο του σωματος και να ενδημησωμεν προς τον Κυριον.

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