By Faith

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of ^(A)things not seen. ² For by it the people of old received their commendation. ³ By faith we understand that the universe was created by ^(B)the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of ^(C)things that are visible.

⁶ So we are always of good courage. We know that ^(A)while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for ^(B)we walk by faith, not ^(C)by sight. ⁸ Yes, we are of good courage, and we ^(D)would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to ^(E)please him. ¹⁰ For ^(F)we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, ^(G)so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
