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
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.
