2 Corinthians 5:16-21
16 From now on, therefore, awe regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is ain Christ, he is ba new creation. cThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, awho through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us bthe ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, anot counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us bthe message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, awe are ambassadors for Christ, bGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 aFor our sake he made him to be sin bwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become cthe righteousness of God.
