So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
We must regard no person for carnal ends or outward gain; the world must be under our feet. Even those who saw Christ in the flesh should not dote upon that bodily presence, we live by His spiritual presence, not by images or fleshly remembrance of Him.

Commenting on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
These words probably were spoken by the apostle to rebuke the carnal boastings of some Jews, who gloried in their having seen Christ in the flesh before he died; the apostle directs them to a more spirtual knowledge of him, now since his resurrection, as more suitable to his gloried state: q.d.
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. (9) He shows what it is not to live to ourselves but to Christ, that is, to know no man according to the flesh.
