2 Corinthians 5:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ The love of Christ controls us. Because we know that One died for all. So all have died. ¹⁵ Christ 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 do not think of anyone as the world does. It is true that in the past we thought of Christ as the world thinks. But we no longer think of him in that way.
