17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creation: the old things are passed away; look, they have become new.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave to us the service of reconciliation;
19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we urge [you{}] on behalf of Christ, be{} reconciled to God.
21 Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
