47:005:006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
47:005:007 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
47:005:008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
47:005:009 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
47:005:010 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.
47:005:011 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.
47:005:012 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
47:005:013 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
47:005:014 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
47:005:015 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
