Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
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:
And that he died for all, that they which live should ➔ not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
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.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
