2 Corinthians 5:5
Compare all
3 if indeed, ahaving been clothed, we shall not be found naked.  
4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, abut further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.  
5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also ahas given us the Spirit as a guarantee.  
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.
7 For awe walk by faith, not by sight.  
8 We are confident, yes, awell pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.  

The Judgment Seat of Christ

9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.
10 aFor we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, bthat each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.  
11 Knowing, therefore, athe terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.  

Be Reconciled to God

12 For awe do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity bto boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.  
13 For aif we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
