5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
