2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16WhereforeG5620 henceforthG3568 knowG1492 weG1473 no manG3762 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: yeaG1161, thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, yetG235 now henceforthG3568 know weG1097 him no moreG3765. 17

ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 any manG5100 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG3708, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. 18AndG1161 all thingsG3956 are ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, whoG3588 hath reconciledG2644 usG1473 to himselfG1438 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 hath givenG1325 to usG1473 the ministryG3588G1248 of reconciliationG3588G2643; 19To witG5613, thatG3754 GodG2316 wasG1510 inG1722 Christ, reconcilingG2644 the worldG2889 unto himselfG1438, notG3361 imputingG3049 theirG846 trespassesG3588G3900 unto themG846; andG2532 hath committedG5087 untoG1722 usG1473 the wordG3588G3056 of reconciliationG3588G2643.

20Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG3588G2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG1473: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ’s steadG5547, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG3588G2316. 21ForG1063 he hath made himG4160 to be sinG266 forG5228 usG1473, who knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG1473 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
