2 Corinthians5:9
9. Wherefore--with such a sure "confidence" of being blessed, whether we die before, or be found alive at Christ's coming.
we labour--literally, "make it our ambition"; the only lawful ambition.
whether present or absent--whether we be found at His coming present in the body, or absent from it.
accepted--Greek, "well-pleasing."
