2 Corinthians 5:15 Context
13For whether wee bee besides our selues, it is to God: or whether we bee sober, it is for your cause. 14For the loue of Christ constreineth vs, because wee thus iudge: that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15And that he died for all, that they which liue, should not hencefoorth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe. 16Wherefore hencefoorth know we no man, after the flesh: yea, though we haue knowen Christ after the flesh, yet now hencefoorth knowe wee him no more. 17Therfore if any man be in Christ, hee is a new creature: old things are past away, behold, al things are become new.
