2 Corinthians 5:17-20

17 如果有人在基督里,他就是新造的人,旧事已经过去,你看,都变成新的了! 

17 Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

18 这一切都是出于 神,他借着基督使我们与他自己和好,并且把这和好的职分赐给我们, 

18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 

19 就是 神在基督里使世人与他自己和好,不再追究他们的过犯,并且把和好的道理托付了我们。 

19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 

20 因此,我们就是基督的使者, 神借着我们劝告世人。我们代替基督请求你们:跟 神和好吧!

ALL: 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.
We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
