2 Corinthians 5:14

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,

2 Corinthians 5:14

II Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us. It was the power that moved him in all his conduct. If one died for all, then were all dead. I thus judge that if Christ died for all, all in Christ have died with him to a life of sin. Baptized into his death we must be dead to sin. The next verse shows that this is the meaning. Compare Romans 6:3 Ga 5:4.
