2 Corinthians 5:16-2 Corinthians 6:2 - The Ministry Of Reconciliation
16 So that we from this time know no one after the flesh; yea, if we have known even Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. 17 Therefore if any one be in Christ, there is a new creation: the old things are passed way; behold, all things are become new: 18 And all things are from God, who hath reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: Namely, 19 that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their traspasses to them, and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore we are embassadors for Christ, as though God were intreating by us: we beseech you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God through him.
1 We then, as fellow-labourers, do also exhort you, not to receive 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 succoured thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
