2 Corinthians 5:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ Christ died for all so that those who live would not continue to live for themselves. He died for them and was raised from the dead so that they would live for him.

¹⁶ From this time on we do not think of anyone as the world does. In the past we thought of Christ as the world thinks, but we no longer think of him in that way. ¹⁷ If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new!
