Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And he has appointed the office of the ministry, which is a ministry of reconciliation: ministers are to open and proclaim to sinners the terms of mercy and reconciliation, and persuade them to comply therewith. Reconciliation is here spoken of as our indispensable duty,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Reconciliation supposes a quarrel, or breach of friendship; and sin has made a breach, it has broken the friendship between God and man.

The Greek "reconcile" is reciprocally used as in the Hebrew Hithpahel conjugation, appease, obtain the favor of.
