Another, very similar resource is https://www.biblegateway.com/

For example 2 Corinthians 5:18:

"The Ministry of Reconciliation All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling3 the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation."
(English Standard Version)

„Der Dienst der Versöhnung Alles aber von Gott, der uns mit sich selbst versöhnt hat durch Christus und uns den Dienst der Versöhnung gegeben hat, 19 nämlich dass Gott in Christus war und die Welt mit sich selbst versöhnte, ihnen ihre Übertretungen nicht zurechnete3 und in uns das Wort von der Versöhnung gelegt hat.“
(Elberfelder Bibel)
