2 Corinthians 5:16-19

16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 12by 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. 18Now 7all these things are from God, 8who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the 9ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that 10God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 11not counting their wrongdoings against them, and 12He has 13committed to us the word of reconciliation.
