Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

for He says, “At a favorable time I listened to you, And on a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is “a favorable time,” behold, now is “a day of salvation”—

as unknown and yet well known, as dying and yet behold, we are alive; as punished and yet not put to death,

For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
