2 Corinthians 5:12-15

12We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an occasion to be [rightfully] proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in [outward] appearances [the virtues they pretend to have] rather than what is [actually] in heart.

13If we are out of our mind [just unstable fanatics as some critics say], it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit.

14For the love of Christ controls and compels us, because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died;

15and He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake.
