• "made manifest" 
• the man/worker (2 Cor 5:10); the motives/will (1 Cor 4:5); the material/work (1 Cor 3:13)
2. Review
• "give account of himself to God" (Rom 14:12)
• "try every man's work" (1 Cor 3:13)
3. Reward
• "receive the things done" (2 Cor 5:10)
• "receive a reward" (1 Cor 3:14)
• Rewards are given for:
