The Judgment Seat of Christ

⁹ Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. ^10 (A)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, ^(B)that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. ¹¹ Knowing, therefore, ^(C)the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

⁹ For ^(A)we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are ^(B)God’s building. ^10 (C)According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid ^(D)the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no other foundation can anyone lay than ^(E)that which is laid, ^(F)which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ each one’s work will become clear; for the Day ^(G)will declare it, because ^(H)it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

^16 (I)Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
