2 Corinthians 5:13-17

13For if we 1are 2beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ 3controls us, having concluded this, that 4one died for all, therefore all died; 15and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer 5live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 6 7according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ 8according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17Therefore if anyone is 9in Christ, 10he is 11a new creature; 12the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
