21 God made him who had no sin(A) to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(B)

As God’s co-workers(C) we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.(D) For he says,

“In the time of my favor I heard you,
    and in the day of salvation I helped you.”[b](E)

I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
