2 Corinthians 5

18 All this is from God, *Col. 1:20;See Rom. 5:10;1 John 2:2who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us *Rom. 5:11the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling*5:19 Or God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, *Ps. 32:2;Rom. 4:8not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us *[See ver. 18above]the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, *Eph. 6:20;[Mal. 2:7;Gal. 4:14] we are ambassadors for Christ, *ch. 6:1God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
