13 For if we are out of our senses, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one died for all; as a result all died.
15 And he died for all, in order that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.
16 So then, from now on we know no one from a human point of view, if indeed we have known Christ from a human point of view, but now we know him this way no longer.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
18 And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
