mnt - 2Corinthians:5:11-6:2

mnt@2Corinthians:5:11 @ So, because I know the fear of God, I "persuade men." What I am is manifest to God, and I hope manifest also to your conscience.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:12 @ I am not "commending myself to you again," but I am giving you an occasion of boasting on my behalf, so that you may have an answer ready for those who boast in externals, and not in the heart.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:13 @ For if I was "beside myself," it was to God; of if I am now "of sound mind," it is for you.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:15 @ and that he died for all in order that the living may live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again for them.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:16 @ Therefore henceforth I know no one simply as a man - even if I have known Christ as a man, yet now I do so no longer.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:17 @ So there is a new creation when any man is in Christ. The old life has passed away, behold, the new is come.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:18 @ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

mnt@2Corinthians:5:19 @ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:20 @ On Christs behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christs behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

mnt@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him who knew no sin, in our behalf he has made to be sin; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:1 @ As a worker with him I beseech you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

mnt@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he said. In an acceptable time have I heard thee, And in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time! behold, now is the day of salvation!
