2 Corinthians 5:12-15

12We are not commending ourselves to you 1again, but are giving you an 2opportunity 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 have 3lost our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ 4controls us, having concluded this, that 5one died for all, therefore all died; 15and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer 6live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf.
