²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

⁵ And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

⁴ But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.

⁵ But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

⁶ We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

³⁰ But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

¹³ Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

¹⁹ Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

⁹ And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

¹⁷ So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

⁹ And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.

¹⁰ And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...

¹¹ ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.

¹² For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.

³ Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

¹ For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

³ For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

⁴ So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

²⁵ Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

²¹ But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

²² That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

²³ For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

²⁴ And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

²⁵ Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

²⁶ And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

¹⁷ For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

¹ My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may be without sin. And if any man is a sinner, we have a friend and helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright one:

² He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

² And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

⁷ Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

¹⁶ In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
