2 Corinthians 5:13-18

13 For if we ^aare beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ ^bcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^cone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, ^dthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^efor him who for their sake died and was raised.

16 From now on, therefore, ^fwe regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is ^gin Christ, he is ^ha new creation. ^{▼▼Or creature} ^jThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, ^kwho through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^lthe ministry of reconciliation;
