2 Corinthians 5:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5
7 (Pois andamos pela fé, e não pela vista).
8 Temos, porém, confiança, e queremos mais deixar o corpo, e habitar com o Senhor;
9 Por isso também desejamos muito ser agradáveis a ele, quer presentes [no nosso corpo] ,quer ausentes;
10 Pois todos devemos comparecer diante do Tribunal de Cristo, para que cada um receba o pagamento das coisas que fez no corpo, seja bem ou mal.
11 Conhecendo, pois, o temor ao Senhor, persuadimos as pessoas para a fé, e a Deus somos claramente visíveis; mas espero, também, que estejamos claramente visíveis em vossas consciências.
