For our sake, He virtually made Christ be sin Who knew no sin. So that, in and through Him we might become endued with and examples of the righteousness of God. This is what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness. We would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness. For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong so we could be put right with God. For God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us! Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner so that Christ could make us acceptable to God.
