He who knew no sin...

September 01, 2015Filed under Theology#quotesMarkdown source

This is one of the single most beautiful sentences in the Bible, and it is incredible in the original:

τὸν μὴ γνόντα ἁμαρτίαν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησεν, ἵνα ἡμεῖς γενώμεθα δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.

That is:

He made the one who knew no sin to be sin for us—so that we might become God’s righteousness in him.

—2 Corinthians 5:21 (SBLGNT and my translation)
