18 And we all, with unveiled face, nbeholding othe glory of the Lord,1 are being ptransformed qinto the same image from one degree of glory to another.2 For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
15 and he died for jall, that those who live might kno longer live for themselves but lfor him who for their sake died and was raised.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a nnew creation.1 oThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ preconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling2 the world to himself, not qcounting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are rambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake she made him to be sin twho knew no sin, uso that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
