2 Corinthians 5:12-15

New International Version

¹² We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,^(A) but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us,^(B) so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. ¹³ If we are “out of our mind,”^(C) as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.^{(D) 15} And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves^(E) but for him who died for them^(F) and was raised again.
