2 Corinthians 5:4

Context
5:4 For we groan while we are in this tent, 1  since we are weighed down, 2  because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

2 Corinthians 5:10

Context
5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, 3  so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil. 4 

1 sn See the note in 5:1 on the phrase the tent we live in.

2 tn Or “we are burdened.”

3 sn The judgment seat (βῆμα, bhma) was a raised platform mounted by steps and sometimes furnished with a seat, used by officials in addressing an assembly or making pronouncements, often on judicial matters. The judgment seat was a common item in Greco-Roman culture, often located in the agora, the public square or marketplace in the center of a city. Use of the term in reference to Christ’s judgment would be familiar to Paul’s 1st century readers.

4 tn Or “whether good or bad.”
