20 Now then, we are (A)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For (B)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become (C)the righteousness of God in Him.
Marks of the Ministry
6 We then, as (D)workers together with Him also (E)plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:

And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
