2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16 From now on, therefore, ^awe regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is ^bin Christ, he is ^ca new creation. ^{▼▼Or creature} ^eThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, ^fwho through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^gthe ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling ^{▼▼Or God was in Christ, reconciling} the world to himself, ⁱnot counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^jthe message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, ^kwe are ambassadors for Christ, ^lGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 ^mFor our sake he made him to be sin ⁿwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^othe righteousness of God.
