Says Paul: “All things are from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of the reconciliation, namely, that God was by means of Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and he committed the word of the reconciliation to us. ”
Paulus ütleb: ” Kõik on Jumalast, kes meid on iseenesega lepitanud Kristuse läbi ja on meile andnud lepitusameti. Sest Jumal oli Kristuses ja lepitas maailma iseenesega ega arvanud neile nende üleastumisi süüks ja on pannud meie sisse lepitussõna ”.
