Example 2Cor 5

-------------------------------------------- 16 Basi, tangu sasa, sisi hatumpimi mtu yeyote kibinadamu. Hata kama kwa wakati mmoja tulimpima Kristo kibinadamu, sasa si hivyo tena.

17 Mtu yeyote akiungana na Kristo huwa kiumbe kipya, mambo ya kale yamepita, hali mpya imefika.

18 Yote ni kazi ya Mungu mwenye kutupatanisha sisi naye kwa njia ya Kristo, akatupa nasi jukumu la kuwapatanisha watu naye.

19 Ndiyo kusema: Mungu, amekuwa akiupatanisha ulimwengu naye kwa njia ya Kristo, bila kutia maanani dhambi zao binadamu. Yeye ametupa ujumbe kuhusu kuwapatanisha watu naye.

20 Basi, sisi tunamwakilisha Kristo, naye Mungu mwenyewe anatutumia sisi kuwasihi ninyi. Tunawaombeni kwa niaba ya Kristo, mpatanishwe na Mungu.

21 Kristo hakuwa na dhambi, lakini Mungu alimfanya ahusike na dhambi kwa ajili yetu, ili sisi kwa kuungana naye, tupate kuushiriki uadilifu wake Mungu.
