2 Corinthians 5:12-15

12 aWe are not commending ourselves to you again but bgiving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13For if we care beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ dcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that eone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15and he died for all, fthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but gfor him who for their sake died and was raised.
