2 Corinthians 5:6,8.—Here the change is from participles to finite verbs:
“Being confident then always, and conscious that being at home [here] in the body, we are from home, away from the Lord (for by faith we are walking, not by sight). We are confident, however, and are content rather to be from home [here] out of the body, and to be at home with the Lord [there].”
