2 Corinthians 5:9

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
