← 2 Corinthians 5:13	2 Corinthians 5:14 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 5:15 →
For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.	For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:	And [that] he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
