2 Corinthians 5:16-2 Corinthians 6:2 - The Ministry Of Reconciliation

¹⁶ Wherefore we henceforth know no one according to the flesh: and if we have known even Christ after the flesh, yet now we thus know Him no more. ¹⁷ And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. ¹⁸ But all these things are from God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and made us ministers of the reconciliation; ¹⁹ to declare, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are therefore ambassadors for Christ, and as God exhorteth you by us, we intreat you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For He hath made Him, who knew no sin, to be a sin-offering for us, that in Him we might be made righteous before God.

¹ And we co-operating with Him do also exhort you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain: ² for He saith, "I have heard thee in an acceptable time, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee." Behold now is the acceptable time; behold now is the day of salvation.
