2 Corinthians 5:18-6:1

English Standard Version

¹⁸ All this is from God, ^(A)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^(B)the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, in Christ God was reconciling^[a] the world to himself, ^(C)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^(D)the message of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore, ^(E)we are ambassadors for Christ, ^(F)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ^21 (G)For our sake he made him to be sin ^(H)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^(I)the righteousness of God.

6 ^(J)Working together with him, then, ^(K)we appeal to you ^(L)not to receive the grace of God in vain.
