2 Corinthians 5:16-20

Sawyer(i) 16 So that from henceforth we know no man after the flesh; and if we have known Christ after the flesh, we now know him no more. 17 So that if any one is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. 18 And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and given us the ministry of the reconciliation, 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their offenses, and has given to us the word of reconciliation. 20 We are embassadors therefore for Christ, as though God besought you by us; we pray you, for Christ, be reconciled to God.
