11 We all know what it means to fear the Lord. That is why we help people to get the truth. God knows what we really are. And I hope you know us in your hearts.
2 Corinthians 5:11

12 We are not trying to prove to you again. But we are telling you about ourselves. We are giving reasons for which you can be proud of us. Then tomorrow will be the answer for those who are proud of what they see. They don’t care what is in a person’s heart.
2 Corinthians 5:12

13 If we have suffered, it is for the Lord. If our brain is right then it is for you.
2 Corinthians 5:13

14 We are subject to the love of Christ, because we know that he died for all, and that all have died.
2 Corinthians 5:14

15 Christ died for all, so that those who live should stop living for themselves. He died for them and was raised from the dead. So that those people may live for him.
2 Corinthians 5:15

16 From now on we do not think of anyone as the people of the world think. It is true that in the past we thought of Christ as the people of the world. But now we don’t think that way.
2 Corinthians 5:16

17 If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; The old things are gone and now everything is new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

18 All this is from God. God has made peace between us and himself through Christ. And God has given us the task of making peace between people and him.
2 Corinthians 5:18

19 This means that God was making peace between him and the world in Christ. In Christ, God did not hold people accountable for their sins. He gave us a message of peace.
2 Corinthians 5:19

20 For we are sent to speak about Christ. It is as if God were calling people through us. That is why we beseech you on behalf of Christ; Make peace with God.
2 Corinthians 5:20

There was no sin in 21. But God made him a sinner. God did this for us so that through him we might become righteous with God.
2 Corinthians 5:21

17 But every man must live according to the conditions which God has ordained for him. This means that he must live in the condition in which God called him. This is the principle I have made in all the churches.
1 Corinthians 7:17

18 If a man was not circumcised when God called him, he must not be circumcised. If a person is not circumcised at the time of calling, he should not be circumcised.
1 Corinthians 7:18

19 It doesn’t matter if a person is circumcised or not. The important thing is to obey God’s commands.
1 Corinthians 7:19

20 Let every man abide in the calling of God.
1 Corinthians 7:20

21 If you were a slave when the Lord called you, don’t worry about it, but if you can be free, be free.
1 Corinthians 7:21

22 The man who was a slave when the Lord called him is now free in the Lord. In the same way, the man who was free when God called him is now a slave of Christ.
1 Corinthians 7:22

23 You people were bought at a high price. So do not become slaves of men.
1 Corinthians 7:23

24 Brothers and sisters, live your new life with God in the way you were living when God called you.
1 Corinthians 7:24
