2 Corinthians 5:9-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Therefore We Are Ambitious To Please Him By Persuading People
9 Therefore[a] we indeed are ambitious[b] to be pleasing to Him— whether being at-home or being away-from-home. 10 For we all must appear[c] before the judgment-seat of Christ in order that each one might receive-back[d] the things done in[e] the body, in-accordance-with the things which he practiced, whether good or bad. 11 Therefore knowing the fear[f] of the Lord, we are persuading[g] people.
Now Our Heart Has Been Made Known To God, And I Hope To You. Boast In Us
Now[h] we have been made known to God. And I hope that we also have been made known in your consciences.

King James Version
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
