2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new. Now
all things are of God, who has reconciled us
to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has
given us the ministry of reconciliation, 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
