labour
(Greek, "philotimeomai", means "are ambitious").
For we must all appear
The judgment of the believer's works, not sins, is in question here. These have been atoned for, and are "remembered no more forever" (Heb 10:17) but every work must come into judgment, (Mat 12:36); (Rom 14:10); (Gal 6:7); (Eph 6:8); (Col 3:24); (Col 3:25). The result is "reward" or "loss" (of the reward), "but he himself shall be saved". (Co1 3:11-15).
This judgment occurs at the return of Christ (Mat 16:27); (Luk 14:14); (Co1 4:5); (Ti2 4:8); (Rev 22:12).
