Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is ^(F)in Christ, he is ^(G)a new creation.^{[a] (H)}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ¹⁸ All this is from God, ^(I)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^(J)the ministry of reconciliation;
