2 Corinthians 5:17-21
17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 1in ChristG5547, 2he is 3a newG2537 creatureG2937; 4the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096. 18NowG1161 5allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 6whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 7ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 8GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 9not countingG3049 their trespassesG3900 against them, and 10He has 11committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.
20ThereforeG3767, we are 12ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 13as thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 an appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you on behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 14reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21He madeG4160 Him who 15knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266 to be 16sinG266 on our behalfG5228, soG2443 that we might becomeG1096 the 17righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in Him.
