5:17So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away32—look, what is new33 has come!345:18And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 5:19In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us35 the message of reconciliation.

Footnotes

  1. 32 Grk “old things have passed away.”
  2. 33 Most have the words τὰ πάντα (ta panta, “all things”; cf. “behold, all things are become new”), some after καίνα (kaina, “new”; D2 K L P Ψ 104 326 945 2464 ) and others before it (6 33 81 614 630 1241 1505 1881 ). The reading without τὰ πάντα, however, has excellent support from both the Western and Alexandrian texttypes (𝔓46 א B C D* F G 048 0243 365 629 1175 1739 co), and the different word order of the phrase which includes it (“all things new” or “new all things”) in the tradition indicates its secondary character. This secondary addition may have taken place because of assimilation to τὰ δὲ πάντα (ta de panta, “and all [these] things”) that begins the following verse.
  3. 34 Grk “new things have come [about].”
  4. 35 Or “he has entrusted to us.”

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come! Everything is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and he has committed the message of reconciliation to us.

NLTNew Living Translation

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
