OET (OET-RV) So from now on, we don’t just know people in the physical dimension, and even if we have known Messiah physically, that’s no longer how we know him.![]()
OET-LV So_then we from the time now no_one have_known according_to flesh.
If even we_have_known according_to flesh chosen_one/messiah, but now no_longer we_are_knowing him.![]()
ULT Therefore, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Even if we regarded Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer regard him, that way.
UST Because of all that, we do not think about anyone in merely human ways any longer. Indeed, although at one time we thought about the Messiah in merely human ways, we do not think about him in those ways any longer.
BSB So from now on we regard no one according to [the] flesh. Although we once regarded Christ [in this way], [we do so] no longer.
MSB So from now on we regard no one according to [the] flesh. Although we once regarded Christ [in this way], [we do so] no longer.
BLB Therefore from now, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have regarded Christ according to flesh, yet now we regard Him thus no longer.
AICNT So from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh; even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer.
OEB For ourselves, then, from this time forward, we refuse to regard anyone from the world’s standpoint. Even if we once thought of Christ from the standpoint of the world, yet now we do so no longer.
2DT So that, from now on, we know no person consistent with Flesh. Even if we have known Christos consistent with Flesh, but we now no longer know [him like that].
WEBBE Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
WMBB Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
MSG (16-20)Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.
NET So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer.
LSV So that we, from now on, have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him [thus] no longer;
FBV From now on we don't look at anyone from a human point of view. Even though we once viewed Christ this way, we don't do so any longer.
TCNT So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, we no longer know him in that way.
T4T So, because I realize how much Christ loves everyone, I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe in Christ think about them. Before I was a believer, I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
LEB So then, from now on we know no one ⌊from a human point of view⌋[fn], if indeed we have known Christ ⌊from a human point of view⌋[fn], but now we know him this way no longer.
BBE For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.
Moff Once convinced of this, then, I estimate no one by what is external; even though I once estimated Christ by what is external, I no longer estimate him thus.
Wymth Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
