2 Corinthians 5:14-17

14Clearly, Christ’s love guides us. We are convinced of the fact that one man has died for all people. Therefore, all people have died.

15He died for all people so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for the man who died and was brought back to life for them.

16So from now on we don’t think of anyone from a human point of view. If we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don’t anymore.

17Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.
