2 Corinthians 5:11 Context
9Wherefore we labour, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10For we must all appeare before the iudgement seat of Christ, that euery one may receiue the things done in his body, according to that hee hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11Knowing therefore the terrour of the Lord, we perswade men; but we are made manifest vnto God, & I trust also, are made manifest in your consciences. 12For we commend not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you occasion to glory on our behalfe, that you may haue somewhat to answere them, which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 13For whether wee bee besides our selues, it is to God: or whether we bee sober, it is for your cause.
