17 So that if any one [is] in Christ, [that one is] a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18 And all things [are] of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 whereas God was in Christ reconciling [the] world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and putting the word of reconciliation in us.
