哥林多后书5:17-21
17若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人。旧事已过，都变成新的了。18一切都是出于神，他藉着基督使我们与他和好，又将劝人与他和好的职分赐给我们。19这就是神在基督里叫世人与自己和好，不将他们的过犯归到他们身上。并且将这和好的道理托付了我们。20所以我们作基督的使者，就好像神藉我们劝你们一般。我们替基督求你们与神和好。21神使那无罪的（无罪原文作不知罪），替我们成为罪。好叫我们在他里面成为神的义。
17This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 18And 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. 19For 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. 20So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,#5:21 Or to become sin itself. so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
