This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We are of good courage (tharroumen). Good word for cheer and same root as tharseō (Mat 9:2, Mat 9:22). Cheer up.
Are willing rather (eudokoumen). Rather, “We are well-pleased, we prefer” if left to ourselves. Cf. Phi 1:21. Same eudokeō used in Luk 3:22.
To be at home with the Lord (endēmēsai pros ton Kurion). First aorist (ingressive) active infinitive, to attain that goal is bliss for Paul.
