5:16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
5:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
