Footnotes
- 14 Grk “whether we are at home” [in the body]; an idiom for being alive (L&N 23.91).
- 15 Grk “to be pleasing to him.”
- 16 The judgment seat (βῆμα, bēma) 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.
- 17 Or “whether good or bad.”
