¹⁹that is, God was in Christ reconciling^[a] the world to himself,^[b] not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. ²⁰So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ²¹For our sake he made him to be sin^[c] who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
