2 Corinthians 5:18-21 And all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and who gave to us the ministry of this reconciliation,

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and who gave to us the ministry of this reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning their transgressions to them, and committing to us the word of this reconciliation. ²⁰ Now then, we serve as ambassadors for Christ, as though God were appealing through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
