2 Corinthians 5:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ All this is from God, who through Christ ·made peace between us and [reconciled us to] himself, and gave us the ·work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him [^Lministry/service of reconciliation]. ¹⁹ [^LFor] God was in Christ, ·making peace between the world and [reconciling the world to] himself. In Christ, God did not ·hold the world guilty of its sins [^Lcount their trespasses against them]. And he ·gave [committed/entrusted to] us this message of ·peace [reconciliation]. ²⁰ So we ·have been sent to speak [^Lare ambassadors] for Christ. It is as if God is ·calling to [urging; exhorting; encouraging] you through us. We speak for Christ when we ·beg [implore; urge] you to be ·at peace with [reconciled to] God.
