Every use · BSB
Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
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 men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
