2 Corinthians 5:8

we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord Our confidence is not even disturbed by death, though it is not (2 Corinthians 5:4) death in itself that we seek. But even in death we -sleep in Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 4:14; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:18), and though removed from our earthly tenement we are still at home with God. Cf. also Luke 23:43. The word translated -present" here is translated -at home" in 2 Corinthians 5:6, a variation which commenced with Tyndale. He returns however to -at home" in the next verse.
