^{15 Ref} 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.

^{16 Ref} Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

^{19 Ref} To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

^{20 Ref} Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

^{21 Ref} For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
