2 Corinthians 5:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5
7 (Porque por fe andamos, no por vista;)
8 Mas confiamos, y más quisiéramos partir del cuerpo, y estar presentes al Señor.
9 Por tanto procuramos también, ó ausentes, ó presentes, serle agradables:
10 Porque es menester que todos nosotros parezcamos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno reciba según lo que hubiere hecho por medio del cuerpo, ora [sea] bueno ó malo.
11 Estando pues poseídos del temor del Señor, persuadimos á los hombres, mas á Dios somos manifiestos; y espero que también en vuestras conciencias somos manifiestos.
