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.
