11Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. 12We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. 13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 15and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.
Beside yourself definition:

Are you beside yourself for God?
Does the love of Christ control you?
I leave you with the last verse in this lesson, think deeply about it before you give yourself an answer!
Do you live for yourself or Him?
"and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."
What say you?t
