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.  
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that aif One died for all, then all died;  
15 and He died for all, athat those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
