2 Corinthians 5:19–21

19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world j to Himself, k not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors l for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, m “Be reconciled to God.” 21 He made the One who did not know sin n to be sin o for us, p so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
