*
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord ,
we persuade men ;
but we are made manifest to God ;
and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences .
*
For we commend not ourselves again to you ,
but give you occasion to glory on our behalf ,
that ye may have somewhat to them who glory in appearance ,
and not in heart . (

in appearance :
Gr .
in the face (:

*
For whether we are beside ourselves ,
to God :
or whether we are of sound mind ,
for your cause .
*
For the love of Christ constraineth us ;
because we thus judge ,
that if one died for all ,
then were all dead :
*
And he died for all ,
that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves ,
but to him who died for them ,
and rose again .
*
Therefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh :
though indeed ,
we have known Christ according to the flesh ,
yet now henceforth we know no more .
*
Therefore if any man in Christ ,
a new creation :
old things have passed away ;
behold ,
all things have become new . (

And all things from God ,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation ;
*
That is ,
that God was in Christ ,
reconciling the world to himself ,
not imputing their trespasses to them ;
and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation . (

*
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ ,
as though God did beseech by us :
we pray in Christ ’
s stead ,
be ye reconciled to God .
*
For he hath made him sin for us ,
who knew no sin ;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him .
