2 Corinthians 5:18-21

2 Corinthians 5:18-21

[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.  [21] he hath made  him to be sin  for  who  knew  no  sin;  that  might be made  the righteousness  of God  in  him.
