2 Corinthians 5:21

Compare all

19 that is, that ^aGod was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not¹ imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then, we are ^aambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

21 For ^aHe made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^bthe righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21

He made him a sin offering, who knew no sin - A commendation peculiar to Christ. For us - Who knew no righteousness, who were inwardly and outwardly nothing but sin; who must have been consumed by the divine justice, had not this atonement been made for our sins. That we might be made the righteousness of God through him - Might through him be invested wi th that righteousness, first imputed to us, then implanted in us, which is in every sense the righteousness of God.
