2 Corinthians 5:16-21

« 2 Cor 42 Cor 52 Cor 6 »

16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one ¹^aaccording to the flesh; even though we have known Christ ¹according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is ^ain Christ, he is ^ba new creation; ^cthe old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now ^aall these things are from God, ^bwho reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ^cministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that ^aGod was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, ^bnot counting their transgressions against them, and ¹He has ²committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 So then, we are ^aambassadors for Christ, ^bas God is pleading through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be ^creconciled to God. 21 He made Him who ^aknew no sin to be ^bsin on our behalf, so that we might become the ^crighteousness of God in Him.
