Every time I heard it

It meant when you die. This is not what it means to me. Being flesh and spirit. We are in conflict between what the flesh wants and what the spirit wants.What Paul is talking about is stepping out of the flesh and walking with the spirit. I said this to my daughter. when in conflict step out of yourself and take a walk with Jesus.A renewing of your mind if you will.

[A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]

5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
