10. For we all have to appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, in order for each one to receive according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
11. Knowing, therefore, the fear of יהוה, we persuade men, but we have been made manifest to Elohim, and I also trust in your consciences to have been manifested.
12. For we do not again commend ourselves to you, but give you an occasion to boast on our behalf, in order that you have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.
13. For whether we are beside ourselves, it was for Elohim, or whether we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14. For the love of Messiah compels us, having judged this: that if One died for all, then all died;
15. and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised.
