15and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.
16So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;
17so that if any one [is] in Christ -- [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.
18And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,
19how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,
20in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;`
21for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
