19 Car Dieu était en Christ, réconciliant le monde avec lui-même, en n’imputant point aux hommes leurs offenses, et il a mis en nous la parole de la réconciliation.
20 Nous faisons donc les fonctions d’ambassadeurs pour Christ, comme si Dieu exhortait par nous; nous vous en supplions au nom de Christ: Soyez réconciliés avec Dieu!
21 Celui qui n’a point connu le péché, il l’a fait devenir péché pour nous, afin que nous devenions en lui justice de Dieu.
