2 Corinthians 5:14-20

14For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;

15and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.

16So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know [him thus] no longer.

17So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:

18and all things [are] of the 1God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:

19how that 2God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.

20We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, 3God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to 4God.
