2 Corinthians 5:16-21

New King James Version

^16 (A)Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, ^(B)yet now we know Him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone ^(C)is in Christ, he is ^(D)a new creation; ^(E)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become ^(F)new. ¹⁸ Now all things are of God, ^(G)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that ^(H)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not ^[a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰ Now then, we are ^(I)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For ^(J)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(K)the righteousness of God in Him.
