The Ministry of Reconciliation

11 Therefore, knowing ¹the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But ²what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

12 ³We are not commending ourselves to you again but ⁴giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart.

13 For if we ⁵are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

14 For the love of Christ ⁶controls us, because we have concluded this: that ⁷one has died for all, therefore all have died;

15 and he died for all, ⁸that those who live might no longer live for themselves but ⁹for him who for their sake died and was raised.

16 From now on, therefore, ¹⁰we 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 ¹¹in Christ, he is ¹²a new creation.^a¹³ The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

18 All this is from God, ¹⁴who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ¹⁵the ministry of reconciliation;

19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling^b the world to himself, ¹⁶not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ¹⁷the message of reconciliation.

20 Therefore, ¹⁸we are ambassadors for Christ, ¹⁹God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

21 ²⁰For our sake he made him to be sin ²¹who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ²²the righteousness of God.
