2 Corinthians 5:9

9 So we try our best to please him. We want to please him whether we are at home in our bodies or away from them.

2 Corinthians 5:9 In-Context

7 We live by believing, not by seeing.
8 We are certain about that. We would rather be away from our bodies and at home with the Lord.
9 So we try our best to please him. We want to please him whether we are at home in our bodies or away from them.
10 We must all stand in front of Christ to be judged. Each one of us will be judged for the good things and the bad things we do while we are in our bodies. Then each of us will receive what we are supposed to get.
11 We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking.
