2 Corinthians 5:13-17 For if I was out of my senses, as they say, it was between God and me; and if I am in my right mind, it is for your good.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For if I was out of my senses, as they say, it was between God and me; and if I am in my right mind, it is for your good. ¹⁴ It is Christ's love that controls me, for I have become convinced that as one has died for all, all have died, ¹⁵ and he died for all that those who live might no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again. ¹⁶ So from that time on, I have estimated nobody at what he seemed to be outwardly; even though I once estimated Christ in that way, I no longer do so. ¹⁷ So if anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new being; the old state of things has passed away; there is a new state of things.
