2 Corinthians 5:14–17
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
For the loue of Christ constreineth vs, because wee thus iudge: that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
And that he died for all, that they which liue, should not hencefoorth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Wherefore hencefoorth know we no man, after the flesh: yea, though we haue knowen Christ after the flesh, yet now hencefoorth knowe wee him no more.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Therfore if any man be in Christ, ‖hee is a new creature: *old things are past away, behold, al things are become new.
