10. We must all stand in front of Christ to be judged. Each one of us will be judged for the good things and the bad things we do while we are in our bodies. Then each of us will receive what we are supposed to get.
11. We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking.
12. We are not trying to make an appeal to you again. But we are giving you a chance to take pride in us. Then you can answer those who take pride in how people look rather than in what is really in their hearts.
13. Are we out of our minds? That is because we want to serve God. Does what we say make sense? That is because we want to serve you.
14. Christ's love controls us. We are sure that one person died for everyone. And so everyone died.
15. Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again.
16. So from now on we don't look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we looked at Christ in that way. But we don't anymore.
17. Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come!
