2 Corinthians 5:7-12
7for awe walk by faith, not bby sight. 8Yes, we are of good courage, and we cwould rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to dplease him. 10For ewe must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, fso that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.The Ministry of Reconciliation
11Therefore, knowing gthe fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But hwhat we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 iWe are not commending ourselves to you again but jgiving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart.
