We implore you on
Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. As God's
fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says, "In
the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I
tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:20b--6:2
