2 Corinthians 5:11-17
11ThereforeG3767, knowingG3609 the 1fearG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 peopleG444, but we are wellG5319 knownG5319 to GodG2316; and I hopeG1679 that we are alsoG2532 2wellG5319 knownG5319 in your consciencesG4893. 12We are not commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you 3againG3825, but are givingG1325 you an 4opportunityG874 toG2745 beG2745 proudG2745 of us, soG2443 thatG2443 you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588. 13For ifG1535 we have 5lostG1839 our mindsG1839, it is for GodG2316; ifG1535 we are of soundG4993 mindG4993, it is for you. 14For the loveG26 of ChristG5547 6controlsG4912 us, having concludedG2919 thisG3778, that 7oneG1520 diedG599 for allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599; 15and He diedG599 for allG3956, soG2443 thatG2443 thoseG3588 who liveG2198 would noG3371 longerG3371 8liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 onG5228 their behalfG5228.
16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 910by the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 by the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 11in ChristG5547, this person is 12a newG2537 13creationG2937; 14the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096.
