2 Corinthians 5:6

Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

Therefore {G3767}{G2532} we are always {G3842} confident {G2292}, knowing {G1492} that {G3754}, whilst we are at home {G1736} in {G1722} the body {G4983}, we are absent {G1553} from {G575} the Lord {G2962}:

So we are always confident — we know that so long as we are at home in the body, we are away from our home with the Lord;

Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
