2 Corinthians
Chapters 5:16-21
Revised Version 1885
16Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;
19to 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.
20We 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.
21Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
