Reconciled in Christ

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that ^(A)in Him all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰ and ^(B)by Him to reconcile ^(C)all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, ^(D)having made peace through the blood of His cross.

²¹ And you, ^(E)who once were alienated and enemies in your mind ^(F)by wicked works, yet now He has ^(G)reconciled ^22 (H)in the body of His flesh through death, ^(I)to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^(A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For ^(C)if when we were enemies ^(D)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^(E)by His life.

⁷ Because ^(A)the ^[a]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^(B)nor indeed can be.

God’s Everlasting Love

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? ^(A)If God is for us, who can be against us? ^32 (B)He who did not spare His own Son, but ^(C)delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

¹⁸ Now all things are of God, ^(A)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that ^(B)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 ^(C)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For ^(D)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(E)the righteousness of God in Him.
