1 Peter 2:24

22 “Who ^acommitted no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;

23 ^awho, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but ^bcommitted Himself to Him who judges righteously;

24 ^awho Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, ^bthat we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—^cby whose stripes you were healed.

25 For ^ayou were like sheep going astray, but have now returned ^bto the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Peter 2:23

1 Peter 2:25 >>

Who himself bore our sins - That is, the punishment due to them. In his afflicted, torn, dying body on the tree - The cross, whereon chiefly slaves or servants were wont to suffer. That we being dead to sin - Wholly delivered both from the guilt and power of it: indeed, without an atonement first made for the guilt, we could never have been delivered from the power. Might live to righteousness - Which is one only. The sins we had committed, and he bore, were manifold.
