16. Wherefore 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.
17. If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.
18. But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
