2 Corinthians 5:14-21
14For the love of Christ 1controls us, having concluded this, that 2one died for all, therefore all died; 15and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer 3live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf.
16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 45by the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17Therefore if anyone is 6in Christ, this person is 7a new 8creation; 9the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now 10all these things are from God, 11who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the 12ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that 13God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 14not counting their wrongdoings against them, and 15He has 16committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20Therefore, we are 17ambassadors for Christ, 18as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be 19reconciled to God. 21He made Him who 20knew no sin to be 2122sin in our behalf, so that we might become the 23righteousness of God in Him.
