Therefore if anyone is ^(y)in Christ, ^[h]he is ^(z)a new creature; ^(aa)the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Now ^(ab)all these things are from God, ^(ac)who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ^(ad)ministry of reconciliation,

namely, that ^(ae)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, ^(af)not counting their trespasses against them, and ^[i]He has ^[j]committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Therefore, we are ^(ag)ambassadors for Christ, ^(ah)as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be ^(ai)reconciled to God.

He made Him who ^(aj)knew no sin to be ^(ak)sin on our behalf, so that we might become the ^(al)righteousness of God in Him.
