2 Corinthians 5:14-21

[14] For  the love  of Christ  constraineth  judge,  that  one  died  for  all,  then  all  dead:  [15] And  that he died  for  all,  that  they which live  not henceforth  live  unto themselves,  but  unto him which died  for  them,  and  rose again.  [16] Wherefore  henceforth  know  no man  after  the flesh:  we have known  Christ  after  the flesh,  yet  now  know we  him no more.  [17] Therefore  be in  Christ,  he is a new  creature:  old things  are passed away;  behold,  are become  new.  [18] And  all things  are of  God,  who  hath reconciled  to himself  by  Christ,  and  hath given  the ministry  of reconciliation;  [19] To wit,  that  God  in  Christ,  reconciling  the world  unto himself,  not  imputing  their  trespasses  unto them;  and  hath committed  unto  the word  of reconciliation.  [20] Now then  we are ambassadors  for  Christ,  as though  God  did beseech  you by  we pray  Christ's  stead,  be ye reconciled  to God.  [21] he hath made  him to be sin  for  who  knew  no  sin;  that  might be made  the righteousness  of God  in  him.
