7 For we live by believing and not by seeing.
16 So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,5:21 Or to become sin itself. so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
16 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. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 21 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.
7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:5:17 Or Christ, that person is a new creation. The old has gone, the new is here! 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin5:21 Or be a sin offering for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
7 for [John 20:29]; See ch. 4:18we walk by faith, not 1 Cor. 13:12by sight.
16 From now on, therefore, [Gal. 2:6;Phil. 3:7,8;Col. 2:11;1 Tim. 5:21]we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is ch. 12:2;Rom. 16:7;Gal. 1:22in Christ, he is [John 3:3]; See Rom. 6:4a new creation.5:17 Or creatureIsa. 43:18,19;Rev. 21:5;[Isa. 65:17;Eph. 2:15;4:24;Heb. 8:13]The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 21 Rom. 8:3;Gal. 3:13;See Rom. 4:25For our sake he made him to be sin See 1 Pet. 2:22who knew no sin, so that in him we might become See Rom. 1:17;1 Cor. 1:30the righteousness of God.
7 For Rom. 8:24; Heb. 11:1we walk by faith, not by sight.
16 2 Cor. 10:3Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, (Matt. 12:50)yet now we know Himthus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone (John 6:63)is in Christ, heis(Rom. 8:9)a new creation; Is. 43:18; 65:17; (Eph. 4:24); Rev. 21:4old things have passed away; behold, all things have become (Rom. 6:3–10; Col. 3:3)new.
21 For Is. 53:6, 9He made Him who knew no sin tobe sin for us, that we might become (Rom. 1:17; 3:21); 1 Cor. 1:30the righteousness of God in Him.
7 for we walk by faith, not by 5:7 Or appearancesight—
16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one 5:16 I.e., by what one is in the fleshby the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new 5:17 Or creaturecreation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be5:21 Or a sin offeringsin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
7 For we walk by faith, 5:7 Mt 8:10; Ac 3:16; Rm 1:8; 1Co 2:5; Gl 2:16; 1Tm 1:2; Heb 4:2 not by sight. 5:7 Lk 3:22
16 From now on, then, we do not know anyone from a worldly perspective. 5:16 Lit anyone according to the flesh Even if we have known Christ from a worldly perspective, 5:16 Lit Christ according to the flesh yet now we no longer know him in this way. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; 5:17 Jn 1:3; Rv 3:14 the old has passed away, and see, 5:17 Rm 8:24 the new has 5:17 Other mss read look, all new things have come! 5:17 Is 43:19; 65:17; Rm 6:4; Eph 4:24; Rv 21:5
21 He made the one who did not know sin 5:21 1Jn 3:5 to be sin 5:21 Or be a sin offering for us, 5:21 Rm 8:3; Gl 3:13; 1Pt 2:24 so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
7 (For we walk by faith, and not by sight.) 16 Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer. 17 If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new. 21 Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
6-8 That’s why we live with such good cheer. You won’t see us drooping our heads or dragging our feet! Cramped conditions here don’t get us down. They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead. It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going. Do you suppose a few ruts in the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us? When the time comes, we’ll be plenty ready to exchange exile for homecoming.
16-20 Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.
21 How? you ask. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.
