2 Corinthians 5:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that (A)while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— 7 for (B)we walk by faith, not by [a]sight— 8 but we are of good courage and (C)prefer rather to be absent from the body and (D)to be at home with the Lord. 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be (E)pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before (F)the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive compensation for [b]his deeds done through the body, in accordance with what he has done, whether good or bad.

2 Corinthians 5:6-10
American Standard Version
6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord 7 (for we walk by faith, not by [a]sight); 8 we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Wherefore also we [b]make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him. 10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done [c]in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
