2 Corinthians 5:18-6:3
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. 2 For he says,
(M)“In a favorable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, (N)now is the (O)favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 3 We (P)put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
