2 Corinthians 5:15
13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
