2 Corinthians 5:16, quoted on its own in about forty lectures, which makes it one of the most-repeated verses in the corpus. From now on I will regard no one from the human point of view; even though I once regarded Christ from the human point of view, I regard him thus no longer. Neville reads it as a dated change of faculty in a named man rather than as an exhortation to charity, and the gloss he adds is always the same two clauses: he saw him once as a man, and now he regards him thus no longer. What happened in between is the vision, and the verse is therefore evidence that Paul's Christ was not a remembered acquaintance. At 1229 he uses the verse to answer the objection that Paul was not an apostle because he had not known Jesus in the flesh - Paul's own defence is that he had seen the risen Christ, Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? - so the disqualification becomes the credential. The practical consequence is the one he presses on the audience: you cannot regard another from the human point of view and revise him at the same time. Usually paired with Galatians 4:19 (M945); this is the standalone use. PROVENANCE. Coined out of sequence at the request of the attach lane, which found the passages while attaching other motifs and reported that nothing in the catalogue held them. The canonical and the occurrences below were read in full before coining; the rest of the corpus-wide set was supplied by the lane and is attached, not read, so the occurrences here carry confidence 0.95 rather than 0.99.
