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
New King James Version
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For (A)we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, (B)well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 (C)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, (D)that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
