17 So then if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.

18 And all things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and who gave to us the ministry of reconciliation.

19 How that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 We are therefore, ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were calling through us. We plead on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

21 For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
