¹⁶ Therefore from now on we recognize no one ^[a](A)by the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore if anyone is ^(B)in Christ, this person is ^(C)a new ^[b]creation; ^(D)the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

²¹ He made Him who ^(A)knew no sin to be ^[a](B)sin in our behalf, so that we might become the ^(C)righteousness of God in Him.

² For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I ^(A)betrothed you to one husband, to ^(B)present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
