23. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new
creation has come: The old has gone, the
new is here! All this is from God, who
reconciled us to himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
that God was reconciling the world to
himself in Christ, not counting people’s
sins against them. And he has committed
to us the message of reconciliation.” (2
Corinthians 5:17-19)
