Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
So from now on, we don't see people the way we used to, just based on what's on the surface. Even though we once knew Christ as just another human, we don't see him that way anymore.
Stop judging people by their surface level, there's always more to the story.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians to address divisions and false teachings within the early church, which was influenced by Greco-Roman culture that often valued social status and physical appearances. Paul was emphasizing the radical change brought by Christ's resurrection, urging believers to shift from a worldly, fleshly way of evaluating people to a spiritual perspective. This verse is part of his argument in 2 Corinthians 5 about becoming a new creation in Christ, where old judgments based on the flesh are abandoned.
