For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may be recompensed for the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 5:10 Go To 2 Corinthians 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Having alarmed and shaken his hearers by mentioning the judgment seat, Paul softens what he says by mentioning the possibility of receiving good rewards, as well as bad.
