2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17Therefore if anyone is 1in Christ, this person is 2a new 3creation; 4the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18Now 5all these things are from God, 6who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the 7ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that 8God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 9not counting their wrongdoings against them, and 10He has 11committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20Therefore, we are 12ambassadors for Christ, 13as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be 14reconciled to God. 21He made Him who 15knew no sin to be 16 17sin in our behalf, so that we might become the 18righteousness of God in Him.
