2 Corinthians 5:12-15

12We are not 1again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an 2occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. 13For if we 3are 4beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ 5controls us, having concluded this, that 6one died for all, therefore all died; 15and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer 7live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
