This passage discusses how those who are in Christ are made new creations. God reconciles believers to himself through Christ, who took on humanity's sins so that believers might become righteous. The passage calls believers to serve as ambassadors pleading with others to be reconciled to God.

2. Therefore,
if
anyone
is
in
Christ,
he
is
a
new
crea2on.
The
old
has
passed
away;
behold,
the
new
has
come.
All
this
is
from
God,
who
through
Christ
reconciled
us
to
himself
and
gave
us
the
ministry
of
reconcilia2on;
that
is,
in
Christ
God
was
reconciling
the
world
to
himself,
not
coun2ng
their
trespasses
against
them,
and
entrus2ng
to
us
the
message
of
reconcilia2on.

5. Therefore,
we
are
ambassadors
for
Christ,
God
making
his
appeal
through
us.
We
implore
you
on
behalf
of
Christ,
be
reconciled
to
God.
For
our
sake
he
made
him
to
be
sin
who
knew
no
sin,
so
that
in
him
we
might
become
the
righteousness
of
God.

Spirit

9. The
saying
is
trustworthy:
If
anyone
aspires
to
the
office
of
overseer,
he
desires
a
noble
task.
Therefore
an
overseer
must
be
above
reproach,
the
husband
of
one
wife,
sober-­‐minded,
self-­‐
controlled,
respectable,
hospitable,
able
to
teach,
not
a
drunkard,
not
violent
but
gentle,
not
quarrelsome,
not
a
lover
of
money.
He
must
manage
his
own
household
well,
with
all
dignity
keeping
his
children
submissive,

10. for
if
someone
does
not
know
how
to
manage
his
own
household,
how
will
he
care
for
God's
church?
He
must
not
be
a
recent
convert,
or
he
may
become
puffed
up
with
conceit
and
fall
into
the
condemna2on
of
the
devil.
Moreover,
he
must
be
well
thought
of
by
outsiders,
so
that
he
may
not
fall
into
disgrace,
into
a
snare
of
the
devil.
