16Therefore from now on we recognize no one 5:16 I.e., by what one is in the fleshby the flesh; even though we have known Christ by the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
16Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
16So from now on we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values]. Though we have known Christ from a human point of view, now we no longer know Him in this way.
