2 Corinthians 5:15-21
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
15 And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.
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.
19 For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20 For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.
21 Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.

2 Corinthians 5:15-21
New International Version
15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves(A) but for him who died for them(B) and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(C) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(D) the new creation(E) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(F) 18 All this is from God,(G) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(H) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(I) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(J) as though God were making his appeal through us.(K) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(L) 21 God made him who had no sin(M) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(N)
