Compare all
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.

2 Corinthians 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat - We labor to walk so as to please him, because we know that we shall have to give a solemn account of ourselves before the judgment seat of Christ; where he, whose religion we profess, will judge us according to its precepts, and according to the light and grace which it affords.

That every one may receive the things - ̔· That each may receive to himself, into his own hand, his own reward and his own wages.

The things done in his body - That is, while he was in this lower state; for in this sense the term body is taken often in this epistle. We may observe also that the soul is the grand agent, the body is but its instrument. And it shall receive according to what it has done in the body.
