7 For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight.
8 So we are confident, and we have the good will to be on a pilgrimage in the body, so as to be present to the Lord.
9 And thus we struggle, whether absent or present, to please him.
10 For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.
11 Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences.
12 We are not commending ourselves again to you, but rather we are presenting you with an opportunity to glory because of us, when you deal with those who glory in face, and not in heart.
13 For if we are excessive in mind, it is for God; but if we are sober, it is for you.
