2 CORINTHIANS 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.”
So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it — present and future life share a single aim: pleasing God (euarestos autō). Living or dying, the Christian's north star is divine pleasure. This grounds ethics and perseverance in a unified eschatology.
