2 Corinthians 5:18-20 And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation;

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And all this is from God, who through Christ reconciled me to himself, and gave me the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ how that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to men their trespasses; and that to me he has entrusted the message of that reconciliation. ²⁰ On Christ's behalf, then, I come as ambassador. It is as though God was entreating you, through me, on Christ's behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.
