2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 12by the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 by the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 3in ChristG5547, this person is 4a newG2537 5creationG2937; 6the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096. 18NowG1161 7allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 8whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 9ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 10GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 11not countingG3049 their wrongdoingsG3900 against them, and 12He has 13committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20ThereforeG3767, we areG4243 14ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 15asG5613 thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 anG3870 appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you onG5228 behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 16reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21He madeG4160 Him who 17knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266 to be 1819sinG266 inG5228 our behalfG5228, soG2443 thatG2443 we might becomeG1096 the 20righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in Him.
