9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
6 Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
7 (For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)
8 But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
10 For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.
5:9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
5:9So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
5:9Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
5:9Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
5:9Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
5:9Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by him.
5:9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
5:9Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,
5:9Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
