2 Corinthians 5:13

Compare all

11 Knowing, therefore, ^athe terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Be Reconciled to God

12 For ^awe do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity ^bto boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

13 For ^aif we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that ^aif One died for all, then all died;

15 and He died for all, ^athat those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

16 ^aTherefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, ^byet now we know Him thus no longer.

17 Therefore, if anyone ^ais in Christ, he is ^ba new creation; ^cold things have passed away; behold, all things have become ^dnew.

18 Now all things are of God, ^awho has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that ^aGod was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not¹ imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

II Corinthians 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves. See Acts 26:24. The same charge had probably been made at Corinth. If it were true, it was due to his zeal. His trances, visions and revelations his enemies imputed to madness. [It is] to God. For God or to the power of God. Or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause. If at other times he was the opposite, "of sober mind" (Revised Version), it was all that he might calmly reason with them and win them.
