2 Corinthians 5:16-17

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 1 2by 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 3in Christ, this person is 4a new 5creation; 6the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
