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

¹⁶ So that we from now know none according to the flesh: and if also we have known Christ according to the:flesh, but now we know no more. ¹⁷ So that if any in Christ, a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all have become new. ¹⁸ And all things of God, having reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the service of reconciliation; ¹⁹ For as God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their faults; and having set in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ For Christ therefore are we ambassadors, as of God beseeching by us: we pray for the sake of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For him not knowing sin, he made sin for us; that we might be the justice of God in him.

¹ And working together, we also beseech, lest also ye receive the grace of God in vain. ² (For he says, In an acceptable time I listened to thee, and in the day of salvation have I run to succor thee: behold, now the acceptable time; behold; now the day of salvation.)
