2 Corinthians 5:9

---

← 2 Corinthians 5:8	2 Corinthians 5:9 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 5:10 →
We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.	Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.	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.
