¹⁵ and he died for all, ^(A)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^(B)for him who for their sake died and was raised.

¹⁶ From now on, therefore, ^(C)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is ^(D)in Christ, he is ^(E)a new creation.^{[a] (F)}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ¹⁸ All this is from God, ^(G)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^(H)the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, in Christ God was reconciling^[b] the world to himself, ^(I)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^(J)the message of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore, ^(K)we are ambassadors for Christ, ^(L)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ^21 (M)For our sake he made him to be sin ^(N)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^(O)the righteousness of God.

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith. ²⁷ For as many of you as ^(B)were baptized ^(C)into Christ have ^(D)put on Christ. ^28 (E)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave^[a] nor free, ^(F)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And ^(G)if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, ^(H)heirs according to promise.
