Summary/Abstract: St. Paul in his Second Letter to the Corinthians, used an expression in relation to one aspect of his apostolate, which NIV translates as ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). In the wider context of the whole Letter and in an attempt to show the structure of the study pericope we can say that the issue of the whole text is the idea of reconciliation in Christ God with people and with the world, as well as the fact that in the current situation apostles received from God the mandate of the ministry of reconciliation. They are kind of ambassadors of Christ, through whom the work of reconciliation was accomplished. The Church of today refers to this tradition.
