2 Corinthians 5:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world(A) to Himself,(B) not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors(C) for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,(D) “Be reconciled to God.” 21 He made the One who did not know sin(E) to be sin[a] for us,(F) so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

King James Version
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
