20 Therefore, we are ambassadors+ substituting for Christ,+ as though God were making an appeal through us. As substitutes for Christ, we beg: “Become reconciled to God.”

20 We+ are therefore ambassadors+ substituting for* Christ,+ as though God were making entreaty through us.+ As substitutes for Christ we beg:+ “Become reconciled to God.”

20 Ὑπὲρ Over Χριστοῦ Christ οὖν therefore πρεσβεύομεν we are ambassadors ὡς as τοῦ of the θεοῦ God παρακαλοῦντος entreating δι’ through ἡμῶν· us; δεόμεθα we are supplicating ὑπὲρ over Χριστοῦ, Christ, καταλλάγητε be YOU reconciled τῷ to the θεῷ. God.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.

20 So we come as ambassadors for Christ, as if it were God appealing to you by us; speaking for Christ we beg you, be reconciled to God.
