4 Paul: life

<p>2 Corinthians 5:8 (NIV) We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.</p>

<p>

2 Timothy 4:6-8 (NIV) For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. 7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.</p>
