13. If we are crazy, it is for God. If we have our right mind, it is for you.
14. The love of Christ controls us, because we know that one person died for everyone. So all have died.
15. He died for all so that those who live would not continue to live for themselves. He died for them and was raised from death so that they would live for him.
16. From this time on we don’t think of anyone as the world thinks of people. It is true that in the past we thought of Christ as the world thinks. But we don’t think that way now.
17. When anyone is in Christ, it is a whole new world. The old things are gone; suddenly, everything is new!
18. All this is from God. Through Christ, God made peace between himself and us. And God gave us the work of bringing people into peace with him.
