2 Corinthians 5:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ If anyone belongs to Christ, ·there is a new creation [the new creation has arrived; or that person has become a new creation]. The old things have gone; [^Llook; ^Tbehold] ·everything is made new [the new has come]! ¹⁸ All this is from God, who through Christ ·made peace between us and [reconciled us to] himself, and gave us the ·work of telling everyone about the peace we can have with him [^Lministry/service of reconciliation]. ¹⁹ [^LFor] God was in Christ, ·making peace between the world and [reconciling the world to] himself. In Christ, God did not ·hold the world guilty of its sins [^Lcount their trespasses against them]. And he ·gave [committed/entrusted to] us this message of ·peace [reconciliation].
