2 Corinthians 5:15-19

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

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 2 3by 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 4in Christ, this person is 5a new 6creation; 7the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now 8all these things are from God, 9who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the 10ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that 11God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 12not counting their wrongdoings against them, and 13He has 14committed to us the word of reconciliation.
