2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;(A) old things have passed away, and look,(B) new things[a] have come.(C) 18 Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:(D) 19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world(E) to Himself,(F) not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors(G) for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,(H) “Be reconciled to God.” 21 He made the One who did not know sin(I) to be sin[b] for us,(J) so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
