2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge that if One died for all, then all were dead;

¹⁵ and that He died for all, that those who live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

¹⁶ Therefore, henceforth know we no man according to the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know Him so no more.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new.

¹⁸ And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation.

²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were beseeching you by us: we pray you on Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

²¹ For He hath made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

6 We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

² (For He saith, “I have heard thee at an accepted time, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee.” Behold, now is the accepted time! Behold, now is the day of salvation!)
