2 Corinthians 5

18 And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as if**Here "if" is supplied as a component of the participle ("were imploring") which is understood as conditional God were imploring you through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
