For
the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has
died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live
might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was
raised.
Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold,
the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to
himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was
reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them,
and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
Therefore,
we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you
on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin
who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
We have been reconciled and been called to
carry the gospel to all so that many
many many more may also just like us be reconciled,
