2 Corinthians 5:21

Controlled By The Love Of Christ

²⁰ On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God. ²¹ He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
