" KNOWING therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men [men of the world];  ... . for the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead [in sin]: and he died for all, that they which [are redeemed through his death, and] live should not henceforth live unto themselves [as their center], but unto him [as their center and object], which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh [neither saint nor sinner]: yea, though we have known CHRIST after the flesh [as on earth, in connection with Israel], yet now henceforth know we him no more [in this way]. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
