2 Corinthians 5:18-21
New King James Version (NKJV)

18 Now all things are of God, who
has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ
reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us
the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled
to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to
be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
