13. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
14. For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
15. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16. Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17. Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
