12We are not 1againG3825 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you but are givingG1325 you an 2occasionG874 to be proudG2745 of us, soG2443 that you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588. 13For ifG1535 we 3are 4besideG1839 ourselvesG1839, it is for GodG2316; ifG1535 we are of soundG4993 mindG4993, it is for you. 14For the loveG26 of ChristG5547 5controlsG4912 us, having concludedG2919 thisG3778, that 6oneG1520 diedG599 for allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599; 15and He diedG599 for allG3956, soG2443 that they who liveG2198 might noG3371 longerG3371 7liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 againG1453 on their behalfG5228.
