Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. |
Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. |
Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. |
So we make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. |
Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth away from Him] or away from home [and with Him], we are constantly ambitious and strive earnestly to be pleasing to Him. |
Wherefore, we make it our aim, whether at home or living abroad, to be well pleasing to Him, |
It is our aim, therefore, to please Him, whether we are “at home” or “away.” |
So whether I am at home or away from home, it is my constant ambition to please Him. |
