2 Corinthians 5:15-19

15and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer 1live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 2 3according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ 4according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17Therefore if anyone is 5in Christ, 6he is 7a new creature; 8the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now 9all these things are from God, 10who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the 11ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that 12God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 13not counting their trespasses against them, and 14He has 15committed to us the word of reconciliation.
