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

¹⁶ So that from henceforth we know no man after the flesh; and if we have known Christ after the flesh, we now know him no more. ¹⁷ So that if any one is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the ministry of the reconciliation, ¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their offenses, and has given to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are embassadors therefore for Christ, as though God besought you by us; we pray you, for Christ, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

¹ And being also co-laborers we exhort you not to receive the grace of God in vain,??2 for he says, In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you; behold, now is an acceptable time, behold, now is a day of salvation,??3 giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry may not be blamed,
