2 Corinthians 5:20

---

← 2 Corinthians 5:19	2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 5:21 →
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.	Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.	For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
