2 Corinthians 5

18 Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.  * 5:18 Rm 5:1119 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world  * 5:19 2Pt 2:20 to himself,  * 5:19 Ti 2:11 not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us.

20 Therefore, we are ambassadors  * 5:20 Eph 6:20 for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,  * 5:20 2Co 12:10; Php 1:29 "Be reconciled to God."
