New Testament for Everyone
2 Corinthians 5:9-11
New Testament for Everyone
9 So we work hard, as a point of honor, to please him, whether we are at home or away. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of the Messiah, so that each may receive what has been done through the body, whether good or bad.

11 So we know the fear of the Lord; and that’s why we are persuading people—but we are open to God, and open as well, I hope, to your consciences.
