2 Corinthians 5:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² We are not recommending ourselves to you again but are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who are proud of outward things rather than inward character.^{[a] 13} So if we were crazy, it was for God; if we are sane, it is for you. ¹⁴ The love of the Messiah^[b] controls us, for we are convinced of this: that one person died for all people; therefore, all people have died.
