English Standard Version

We walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:8

2 Corinthians 5 (English Standard Version)

4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.

We live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.

2 Corinthians 5:7

Through trusting God Abraham obeyed when God called him to go to the land God was going to give him. He left, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:8

2 Corinthians 5 (Free Bible Version)

4 While we are in this “tent” we sigh, being weighed down by this life. It's not so much that we want to take off the clothing of this life but that we look forward to what we shall be clothed with, so that what is mortal may be overwhelmed by life.
5 It's God himself who prepared us for all this, and who provided the Spirit as a guarantee to us.
6 So we remain confident, knowing that while we are at home here in our physical bodies, we are away from the Lord.
7 (For we live by trusting in God, not by seeing him.)
8 As I say, we are confident, wanting to be away from the body so we can be at home with the Lord.
9 That's why our goal, whether home here in our bodies or not, is to make sure we please him.
10 For all of us must appear before Christ's seat of judgment. Each of us will receive what we deserve for what we have done in this life, whether it is good or bad.
