2 Corinthians 5:6-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 So while always being confident[a], and knowing that while being-at-home in the body we are away-from-home, from the Lord 7 (for we walk by faith, not by appearance[b])— 8 yet we are confident[c] and prefer rather to get-away-from-home, out of the body, and to get-at-home with the Lord.
Therefore We Are Ambitious To Please Him By Persuading People
9 Therefore[d] we indeed are ambitious[e] to be pleasing to Him— whether being at-home or being away-from-home. 10 For we all must appear[f] before the judgment-seat of Christ in order that each one might receive-back[g] the things done in[h] the body, in-accordance-with the things which he practiced, whether good or bad.
