2 Corinthians 5:11-15

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ Therefore, knowing the ^(A)fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are well known to God; and I hope that we are also ^(B)well known in your consciences. ¹² We are not commending ourselves to you ^(C)again, but are giving you an ^(D)opportunity to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. ¹³ For if we have ^(E)lost our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ ^(F)controls us, having concluded this, that ^(G)one died for all, therefore all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, so that those who live would no longer ^(H)live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose on their behalf.
