John Trapp on 2 Corinthians 5:9

Verſe 9. Wherefore we labour] Our hope of heaven maketh us active and abundant in Gods ſervice. The doctrine of aſſurance is not a doctrine of liberty, but the contrary, 1 Joh. 3.3. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. We make it our ambition, faith the Apoſtle here, to get acceptance in heaven, waiting till our father ſhall call us home, and paſſing the time of our ſojourning here in fear, 1 Pet. 1.17. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. The Saints have their commotation upon earth, their converſation in heaven.
