11

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men but we are made manifest unto God and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

12

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

13

For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.

14

For the love of Christ constraineth us because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15

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.

16

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.

17

Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away behold, all things are become new.

18

And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation

19

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.

20

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.

21

For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
