18 All this is from God, ^awho through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^bthe ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling ^{▼▼Or God was in Christ, reconciling} the world to himself, ^dnot counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^ethe message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, ^fwe are ambassadors for Christ, ^gGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 ^hFor our sake he made him to be sin ⁱwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^jthe righteousness of God.
