New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 So if anyone is in Christ, there[a] is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;(B) 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,[c] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.(C) 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God.(D) 21 For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(E)
