In context

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

11Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.

12We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

13If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

14For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
