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. 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. Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are
become new. And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation; 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. 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.
II Corinthians 5:13-18
