The BHMA, here and now?

2 Cor 5:9a

DIO KAI FILOTIMOUMEQA...

2 Cor 5:10a

TOUS GAR PANTAS hHMAS FANERWQHNAI DEI EMPROSQEN TOU BHMATOS TOU CRISTOU
hINA KOMISHTAI hEKASTOS...


5:9 begins with a Present Tense verb, referring to Paul's "present" 
striving.

Next, I wonder if GAR in verse 10a could be Explanatory. That is, standing 
before this
platform of Christ could be a day to day evaluation occurring in the 
present, explaining
why Paul was striving; namely, because Christ was evaluating his CURRENT, 
DAY TO DAY ministry.

hINA KOMISHTAI hEKASTOS then would have to relate to immediate 
blessings/rewards, in some sense. (But this is going more into
the theological implications, I suppose.)


Theology aside, is this a grammatical, contextual option?

I guess the reverse side of this question is: Is 5:10 grammatically
and syntactically ONLY a future tense concept?

Thanks,

Mark Wilson
