2 Corinthians 5:9 In-Context

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight -
8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord .
9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord , we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
