2 Corinthians 5:10-12

10For we must all appear before 1the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for 2his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

11Therefore, knowing the 3fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are 4made manifest also in your consciences. 12We are not 5again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an 6occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.
