10. 2 Cor 5:8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away
from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it
our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body
or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the
so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things
done while in the body, whether
good or bad.

13. 1 Cor. 3:10-15
10 …. each one should build with care. 11 For no one can
lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which
is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation
using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,
13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the
Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire,
and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.
14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive
a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss
but yet will be saved - even though only as one escaping
through the flames.

things done while in the body, whether
good or bad.

loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no
longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and
trampled underfoot
• 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill
cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and
put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and
it gives light to everyone in the house.16 In the same way,
let your light shine before others, that they may see your
good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven”
16. What are we to do while here on earth?

your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you,
love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you,45 that you may be children of your Father in
heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous.46 If you love those who love you, what
reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors
doing that? 47And if you greet only your own people,
what are you doing more than others? Do not even
pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly
Father is perfect.
17. What are we to do while here on earth?
• Matthew 6:1 “Be careful not to practice your
righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If
you do, you will have no reward from your Father in

authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit,20 and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age.”
