2 Corinthians 5:21

God ¹  made the one who did not know sin ²  to be sin for us, so that in him ³  we would become the righteousness of God.

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

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

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.

How? you say. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.

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.

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
