2 Corinthians 5:14-20

14ForG1063 Christ’sG5547 loveG26 compelsG4912 usG1473, because we are convincedG2919G3778 thatG3754 OneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599. 15AndG2532 He diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 those whoG3588 liveG2198 should no longerG3371 liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, butG235 for HimG3588 who diedG599 forG5228 themG846 andG2532 was raised againG1453.

16SoG5620 fromG575 now onG3568 weG1473 regardG1492 no oneG3762 according toG2596 the fleshG4561. AlthoughG2532G1487 we once regardedG1097 ChristG5547 in this way, we do so no longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creationG2937.1 TheG3588 oldG744 has passed awayG3928. BeholdG2400, the newG2537 has comeG1096!

All thisG3956 is fromG1537 GodG2316, whoG3588 reconciledG2644 usG1473 to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 andG2532 gaveG1325 usG1473 theG3588 ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643: 19thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG1510 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438 inG1722 ChristG5547, notG3361 countingG3049 men’s trespassesG3900 against themG846. AndG2532 He has committedG5087 toG1722 usG1473 theG3588 messageG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20ThereforeG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 were making His appealG3870 throughG1223 usG1473. We implore youG1189 on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547: Be reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
