5:17. If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away. Behold all things are made new. 5:18. But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 5:19. For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. 5:20. For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. 5:21. Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. Sin for us. . .That is, to be a sin offering, a victim for sin. 2 Corinthians Chapter 6 He exhorts them to a correspondence with God's grace and not to associate with unbelievers. 6:1. And we helping do exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 6:2. For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time: behold, now is the day of salvation. 6:3. Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed. 6:4. But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses, 6:5. In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, 6:6. In chastity, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned, 6:7. In the word of truth, in the power of God: by the armour of justice on the right hand and on the left: 6:8. By honour and dishonour: by evil report and good report: as deceivers and yet true: as unknown and yet known: 6:9. As dying and behold we live: as chastised and not killed: 6:10. As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing: as needy, yet enriching many: as having nothing and possessing all things. 6:11. Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians: our heart is enlarged. 6:12. You are not straitened in us: but in your own bowels you are straitened. 6:13. But having the same recompense (I speak as to my children): be you also enlarged. 6:14. Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? 6:15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever? 6:16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. 6:17. Wherefore: Go out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: 6:18. And I will receive you. And will be a Father to you: and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians Chapter 7 The apostle's affection for the Corinthians. His comfort and joy on their account.
