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

So that, if any one is in Christ, there is a new creation! the old things, have passed away, - Lo! they have become new! 18 The all things, moreover, are of God, - who hath reconciled us unto himself, through Christ, and hath given, unto us, the reconciling ministry: - 19 How that, God, was in Christ, reconciling, a world, unto himself, not reckoning, unto them, their offences, - and hath put, in us, the reconciling discourse. 20 In behalf of Christ, therefore, are we ambassadors, - as if God were beseeching through us: we entreat, in behalf of Christ, - be reconciled unto God! 21 Him who knew not sin, in our behalf, he made to be, sin, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
1 As co-workers, however, we also beseech, that, not in vain, the favour of God, ye welcome; 2 For he saith - In an approved season, have I hearkened unto thee, and, in a day of salvation, have succoured thee; - Lo! now, a well-approved season, Lo! now, a day of salvation:
