What does "presence" mean? The same Greek word is used in
the following passages and refers to a bodily "coming" of a person
to others resulting in his "presence" among them: 1 Cor 16:17;
2Cor 7:6f; 10:10; Phil 1:26; 2:12. And the word is even used in reference
to Jesus' FIRST "coming" - which was in a body! (2Pet 1:16).
