Most of us spend our whole life knowing one another after the flesh. We judge people by what they do and don't do. It is all about the way people preform according to our judgements and expectations that we have. If they do this, that means this. If they do that, it's means that and so on. We get caught in the trap of trying to be what people want, instead of being who we where called by God to be.
I think what Paul was talking about in 2 Cor 5. was not to regard one another from a worldly point of view, but a Kingdom point of view. We are to know one another after the spirit and not after the flesh. When we see people by the spirit, then we see them through the heart of God's love and purpose. Remember in Christ we became spiritual beings no longer fleshly beings.
Let us try to see and encourage one another with the heart of the Kingdom, which is not counting people's sins against them, but reconciling them to God's love in Christ the King.
