2 Corinthians 5:9-12

9ThereforeG1352 we alsoG2532 haveG5389 asG5389 our ambitionG5389, whetherG1535 atG1736 homeG1736 orG1535 absentG1553, to be 1pleasingG2101 to Him. 10For we mustG1163 allG3956 appearG5319 beforeG1715 2the judgmentG968 seatG968 of ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 eachG1538 oneG1538 may receiveG2865 compensationG2865 for 3his deedsG3588 done through the bodyG4983, inG4314 accordanceG4314 withG4314 whatG3739 he has doneG4238, whetherG1535 goodG18 orG1535 badG2556.

11ThereforeG3767, knowingG3609 the 4fearG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 peopleG444, but we are wellG5319 knownG5319 to GodG2316; and I hopeG1679 that we are alsoG2532 5wellG5319 knownG5319 in your consciencesG4893. 12We are not commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you 6againG3825, but are givingG1325 you an 7opportunityG874 toG2745 beG2745 proudG2745 of us, soG2443 thatG2443 you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588.
