20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Chapter 6

1 Working together with him, then, we entreat you not to accept the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,

“At the acceptable time I have listened to you,

and helped you on the day of salvation.”

Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
