2 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 2 Corinthians 5:16 Regard no one according to the flesh, that is, according to worldly standards and values which claim that one’s present physical life is all that matters. Before Paul’s conversion, he regarded Christ according to the flesh. He considered Christ to be a false messiah whose suffering and death were punishment from God (see Deuteronomy 21:23).
