18. All this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,
19. that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.
20. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us. We implore you in Christ’s stead: Be reconciled to God.
21. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
