For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: (5:14) And [that] he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again (5:15) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more (5:16) Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (5:17) And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; (5:18) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation (5:19) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God (5:20) For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him
(5:21)
