2 Corinthians 5:14-21

Rotherham(i) 14 For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us; –– Having judged this,––that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died; 15 and, in behalf of all, died he,––in order that, they who live, no longer for themselves, should live, but for him who, in their behalf, died and rose again.
16 So that, we, henceforth, know, no one, after the flesh: if we have even been gaining, after the flesh, a knowledge of Christ, 17 On the contrary, now, no longer, are we gaining it. So that, if any one is in Christ, there is a new creation! the old things, have passed away,––Lo! they have become new! 18 The all things, moreover, are of God,––who hath reconciled us unto himself, through Christ, and hath given, unto us, the reconciling ministry:–– 19 How that, God, was in Christ, reconciling, a world, unto himself, not reckoning, unto them, their offences,––and hath put, in us, the reconciling discourse. 20 In behalf of Christ, therefore, are we ambassadors,––as if God were beseeching through us: we entreat, in behalf of Christ,––be reconciled unto God! 21 Him who knew not sin, in our behalf, he made to be, sin, that we might become God’s righteousness in him.
