2 Corinthians 5:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ And Christ did die for all of us. He died so we would no longer live for ourselves, but for the one who died and was raised to life for us.

¹⁶ We are careful not to judge people by what they seem to be, though we once judged Christ in this way. ¹⁷ Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new.
