2 Corinthians 5:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 So then, knowing the (A)fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we [a]have been made manifest to God; and I hope that we [b]have been (B)made manifest also in your consciences. 12 We are not (C)again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an (D)opportunity to boast of us, so that you will have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we [c]are (E)out of our mind, it is for God, or if we are of right mind, it is for you.

2 Corinthians 5:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 So, since we know the fear of the Lord, we are trying to persuade people. Now, we are well known by God, and I hope that we are also well known in your consciences. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but we are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you have a reply for those who boast about outward appearance rather than what is in the heart.
13 Actually, if we were out of our minds, it was for God. If we are in our right minds, it is for you.
