2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;^(A) old things have passed away, and look,^(B) new things^[a] have come.^{(C) 18} Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:^{(D) 19} That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world^(E) to Himself,^(F) not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. ²⁰ Therefore, we are ambassadors^(G) for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,^(H) “Be reconciled to God.”
