2 Corinthians 5:13

← 2 Corinthians 5:12	2 Corinthians 5:13 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 5:14 →
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.	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:
