Then the ministry of reconciliation

11 We all know what it means to fear the Lord. That is why we help people to get the truth. God knows what we really are. And I hope you know us in your hearts.
2 Corinthians 5:11

12 We are not trying to prove to you again. But we are telling you about ourselves. We are giving reasons for which you can be proud of us. Then tomorrow will be the answer for those who are proud of what they see. They don’t care what is in a person’s heart.
2 Corinthians 5:12

13 If we have suffered, it is for the Lord. If our brain is right then it is for you.
2 Corinthians 5:13

14 We are subject to the love of Christ because we know that he died for all, that is why all have died.
2 Corinthians 5:14

15 Christ died for all, so that those who live should stop living for themselves. He died for them and was raised from the dead. So that those people may live for him.
2 Corinthians 5:15

16 From now on we do not think of anyone as the people of the world think. It is true that in the past we thought of Christ as the people of the world. But now we don’t think that way.
2 Corinthians 5:16

17 If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; The old things are gone and now everything is new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

18 All this is from God. God has made peace between us and himself through Christ. And God has given us the task of making peace between people and him.
2 Corinthians 5:18

19 This means that God was making peace between him and the world in Christ. In Christ, God did not hold people accountable for their sins. He gave us a message of peace.
2 Corinthians 5:19

20 For we are sent to speak about Christ. It is as if God were calling people through us. That is why we beseech you on behalf of Christ; Make peace with God.
2 Corinthians 5:20

There was no sin in 21. But God made him a sinner. God did this for us so that through him we might become righteous with God.
2 Corinthians 5:21

Keep moving forward towards God

12 I do not mean that I have already become exactly as God intended me to be. I haven’t reached the goal yet. But I am constantly struggling to reach that goal. That is why Christ Jesus made me his own.
Philippians 3:12

13 Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached my destination. But there is one thing I always do; I have forgotten the past and I am trying hard to reach the destination that is in front of me.
Philippians 3:13

14 I am constantly striving to reach the destination and win the prize for which God is calling us to heaven through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14

15 All of us who have grown up spiritually should think the same way. But if you do not agree with any of these, God will make it clear to you.
Philippians 3:15

16 In every case we must continue to walk in the path of truth that we have been following so far.
Philippians 3:16

17 Brothers and sisters, follow my example. Observe the people who follow our example closely. As we show you the way. Follow them, too.
Philippians 3:17

18 Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have told you many times about such people. And now as I talk about them, I start to cry.
Philippians 3:18

19 The way they live is the way that leads to destruction. Their hunger is their God. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only of worldly things.
Philippians 3:19

20 But our homeland is in heaven. We are waiting for our Savior to come down from heaven. Our Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20

21 Christ will change our physical bodies like his glorious body. He will do this with the power by which he is able to control everything.
Philippians 3:21
