8 yet we are confident[a] and prefer rather to get-away-from-home, out of the body, and to get-at-home with the Lord.
Therefore We Are Ambitious To Please Him By Persuading People
9 Therefore[b] we indeed are ambitious[c] to be pleasing to Him— whether being at-home or being away-from-home. 10 For we all must appear[d] before the judgment-seat of Christ in order that each one might receive-back[e] the things done in[f] the body, in-accordance-with the things which he practiced, whether good or bad.
