18NowG1161 1allG3956 these thingsG3956 are from GodG2316, 2whoG3588 reconciledG2644 us to HimselfG1438 throughG1223 ChristG5547 and gaveG1325 us the 3ministryG1248 of reconciliationG2643, 19namelyG5613, that 4GodG2316 was in ChristG5547 reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 to HimselfG1438, 5not countingG3049 their wrongdoingsG3900 against them, and 6He has 7committedG5087 to us the wordG3056 of reconciliationG2643.

20ThereforeG3767, we areG4243 8ambassadorsG4243 for ChristG5547, 9asG5613 thoughG5613 GodG2316 were makingG3870 anG3870 appealG3870 throughG1223 us; we begG1189 you onG5228 behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, be 10reconciledG2644 to GodG2316. 21He madeG4160 Him who 11knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266 to be 1213sinG266 inG5228 our behalfG5228, soG2443 thatG2443 we might becomeG1096 the 14righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 in Him.
