2 Corinthians 5:13 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5

11 Estando pues poseídos del temor del Señor, persuadimos á los hombres, mas á Dios somos manifiestos; y espero que también en vuestras conciencias somos manifiestos.

12 No nos encomendamos pues otra vez á vosotros, sino os damos ocasión de gloriaros por nosotros, para que tengáis qué responder contra los que se glorían en las apariencias, y no en el corazón.

13 Porque si loqueamos, es para Dios; y si estamos en seso, es para vosotros.

14 Porque el amor de Cristo nos constriñe, pensando esto: Que si uno murió por todos, luego todos son muertos;

15 Y por todos murió, para que los que viven, ya no vivan para sí, mas para aquel que murió y resucitó por ellos.
