What does the Bible say about knowing no man after the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

The Apostle Paul teaches that we should not judge others based on outward appearances or earthly status, as true worth comes from being in Christ.

In 2 Corinthians 5:16-18, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that we should 'know no man after the flesh.' This implies that we are not to assess others by their worldly accomplishments, wisdom, or social standing. Paul addresses a community that often glorified human wisdom and appearance, reminding them that outward qualities hold no significance in spiritual matters. Instead, our true identity is found in being 'in Christ,' where we are transformed into new creations, indicating that true worth and belonging come from our relationship with God rather than our earthly status. Flesh profits nothing, and the spiritual kingdom is characterized by a new birth that transcends physical attributes.
