Yes, we are of good courage, and we (E)would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to (F)please him. 10 For (G)we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, (H)so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
