2 Corinthians 5:9
Douay-Rheims
And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
Tertullian
Then he says even to all: "We therefore earnestly desire to be acceptable unto God, whether absent or present; for we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ Jesus." If all of us, then all of us wholly; if wholly, then our inward man and outward too-that is, our bodies no less than our souls.
