17 So if any one is in Christ he is a new creature. The old things have passed away, they have become new.

18 And all things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given to us the service of reconciliation \'97

19 to proclaim that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting against men their sins, and that he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing to you through us. We pray you on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God.

21 Him who knew no sin God made sin for our sake that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
