2 Corinthians 5:21
World English Bible (WEB)
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
In context
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
