2 Corinthians 5:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Christ died for all so that those who live would ·not continue to [no longer] live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised from the dead.

¹⁶ [^LSo; As a result] From ·this time [now] on we do not think of anyone ·as the world does [or from a merely human perspective; ^Laccording to the flesh]. [^LAlthough] In the past we thought of Christ ·as the world thinks [or as nothing more than a man; ^Laccording to the flesh], but we no longer think of him in that way. ¹⁷ If anyone belongs to Christ, ·there is a new creation [the new creation has arrived; or that person has become a new creation]. The old things have gone; [^Llook; ^Tbehold] ·everything is made new [the new has come]!
