The most-cited Bible verses for reconciliation (MSG) are Matthew 5:24, 2 Corinthians 5:18, Ephesians 4:32. This page collects 15 of them, each with its full passage, context and the text in six translations.

Scripture returns to reconciliation (MSG) across both testaments rather than settling it in one passage, which is why the verses on this page do not all say the same thing. Read together they give a fuller answer than any single verse does.

More than any page can list. This one carries the 15 that are most often turned to for reconciliation (MSG), chosen so each stands on its own and links through to the full chapter it belongs to.
