2 Corinthians 5:18-20 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation,

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.
