13 For we bear record that we are not beside ourselves; for whether we glory, it is to God, or whether we be sober, it is for your sakes.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then are all dead;
15 And he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore, henceforth live we no more after the flesh; yea, though we once lived after the flesh, yet since we have known Christ, now henceforth live we no more after the flesh.
17 Therefore if any man live in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new,
18 And receiveth all the things 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 is 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 did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 6 Intro: Paul's manner of life and preaching.
1 We then, as workers together with Christ, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
