2 Corinthians 5:20 ASV

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.

²¹  Him who knew no sin he made `to be' sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
