[17] Therefore be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled to himself by Christ, and hath given the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by we pray Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
