2 Corinthians 5:16 in Context — 2 Corinthians 5

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.

16 De manera que nosotros de aquí adelante á nadie conocemos según la carne: y aun si á Cristo conocimos según la carne, empero ahora ya no [le] conocemos.

17 De modo que si alguno está en Cristo, nueva criatura [es]: las cosas viejas pasaron; he aquí todas son hechas nuevas.

18 Y todo esto es de Dios, el cual nos reconcilió á sí por Cristo; y nos dió el ministerio de la reconciliación.
