2 Corinthians 5:14-20
14For the loveG26 of ChristG5547 1controlsG4912 us, having concludedG2919 thisG3778, that 2oneG1520 diedG599 for allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599; 15and He diedG599 for allG3956, soG2443 that they who liveG2198 might noG3371 longerG3371 3liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 againG1453 on their behalfG5228.
16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 45accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 6accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 7in ChristG5547, 8he is 9a newG2537 creatureG2937; 10the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096. 18NowG1161 11allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 12whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 13ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 14GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 15not countingG3049 their trespassesG3900 against them, and 16He has 17committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.
20ThereforeG3767, we are 18ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 19as thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 an appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 20reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
