are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the

sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away
from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our
goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from
it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of
Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things
done while in the body, whether good or bad."

glory for ever and ever. Amen."
