2 Corinthians 5:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 (A)[a]For we must all [b]appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every man may receive the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
11 [c]Knowing therefore that [d]terror of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
12 [e]For we praise not ourselves again unto you, but give you an occasion to rejoice of us that ye may have to answer against them, which rejoice in the [f]face, and not in the heart.
