14 For the love of Christ ^dcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^eone has died for all, therefore all have died;

15 and he died for all, ^fthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^gfor him who for their sake died and was raised.

19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling¹ the world to himself, ⁿnot counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^mthe message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, ^owe are ambassadors for Christ, ^pGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 ^qFor our sake he made him to be sin ^rwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^sthe righteousness of God.
