2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16Wherefore we henceforth knowG1097 no man after the fleshG4561: evenG2532 though we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 after the fleshG4561, yet nowG3568 we knowG1097 him so no more. 17Wherefore if any man is in ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creature: the oldG744 things are passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, they are becomeG1096 newG2537. 18But all thingsG3956 are of GodG2316, who reconciled us to himself through ChristG5547, and gaveG1325 unto us the ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643; 19to wit, that GodG2316 wasG1510 in ChristG5547 reconciling the worldG2889 unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespassesG3900, and having committed unto us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20We are ambassadors thereforeG3767 on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, as though GodG2316 were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be ye reconciled to GodG2316. 21Him who knewG1097 no sinG266 he madeG4160 to be sinG266 on our behalfG5228; that we might becomeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in him.
