2 Corinthians 5:14-17

14 For the love of Christ ^acontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^bone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, ^cthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^dfor him who for their sake died and was raised.

16 From now on, therefore, ^ewe 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 ^fin Christ, he is ^ga new creation. ^{▼▼Or creature} ⁱThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

1 Peter 1:14

14 As obedient children, ^jdo not be conformed to the passions ^kof your former ignorance,

1 Since therefore ^lChrist suffered in the flesh, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add for us; some for you} ⁿarm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for ^owhoever has suffered in the flesh ^phas ceased from sin, 2 ^qso as to live for ^rthe rest of the time in the flesh ^sno longer for human passions but ^tfor the will of God. 3 For the time that is past ^usuffices ^vfor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
