18. And all this by God, who reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. for certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and having placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did exhort you by us; we beseech you in Christ’s name, be ye reconciled to God.
21. For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
