9 Therefore indeed we have as our ambition, whether at home in the body or absent from the body, to be acceptable to him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive back the things through the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we are attempting to persuade people, but we are revealed to God, and I hope to be revealed in your consciences.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, in order that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
13 For if we are out of our senses, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one died for all; as a result all died.
15 And he died for all, in order that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.
