2 Corinthians 5:17

Controlled By The Love Of Christ

¹⁶ So from that time on, I have estimated nobody at what he seemed to be outwardly; even though I once estimated Christ in that way, I no longer do so. ¹⁷ So if anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new being; the old state of things has passed away; there is a new state of things. ¹⁸ All this comes from God, who through Christ has reconciled me to himself, and has commissioned me to proclaim this reconciliation??19 how God through Christ reconciled the world to himself, refusing to count men's offenses against them, and intrusted me with the message of reconciliation.
