Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For The Love of Christ Controls Us As We Live a New Life For Him
14 For the love of [a] Christ controls[b] us, we having determined this— that One died for all, therefore all died. 15 And He died for all so that the ones living might no longer be living for themselves, but for the One having died and been raised for them. 16 So then from now on, we regard[c] no one based-on[d] the flesh[e]. Even though we have known Christ based on the flesh, nevertheless now we no longer are knowing Him thus.

New International Version
2 Corinthians 5:14-16
New International Version
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.(A) 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves(B) but for him who died for them(C) and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(D) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
