15and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

16Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

19that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

16And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

17Then Jesus said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.'

18They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

19When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

20And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

21Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.

22And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
