9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 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.
11 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.
5:9So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
5:9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
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.
