¹¹Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men: but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.

¹²We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf: that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.

¹³For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for you.

¹⁴For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.

¹⁵And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again.

¹⁶Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh: but now we know him so no longer.

¹⁷If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new.

¹⁸But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

¹⁹For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.

²¹Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him.
