2 Corinthians 5:17-20
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation;[a] the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, God was in Christ reconciling[b] the world to himself,[c] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

New King James Version
17 Therefore, if anyone (A)is in Christ, he is (B)a new creation; (C)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become (D)new. 18 Now all things are of God, (E)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that (F)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are (G)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
