2 Corinthians 5:19-21

19namely, that 1God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, 2not counting their wrongdoings against them, and 3He has 4committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20Therefore, we are 5ambassadors for Christ, 6as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be 7reconciled to God. 21He made Him who 8knew no sin to be 910sin in our behalf, so that we might become the 11righteousness of God in Him.
