2 Corinthians 5:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
In context
11 Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
