The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth

Chapter 5:12-21

Greetings to all the Saints in the name of our Redeemer Jesus Christ

Friends, I plead with you this day to come to knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and God’s plan of redemption.  Be reconciled with Him that created you.  You are washed clean by the blood of the Lamb, accept it, accept the grace and mercy which our heavenly Father has offered to you. 

God and Sinners Reconciled

12 For we praise not ourselves again unto you, but give you an occasion to rejoice of us that ye may have to answer against them, which rejoice in the face, and not in the heart.
13 For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right mind, we are it unto you.
14 For that love of Christ constraineth us,
15 Because we thus judge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though we had known Christ after the flesh, yet not henceforth know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, which hath reconciled us unto himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himself, not imputing their sins unto them, and hath [m]committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then are we ambassadors for Christ: as though God did beseech you through us, we pray you in Christ’s stead, that ye be reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we should be made the righteousness of God in him.
