righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians 5:21). "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus had to die. He had to shed His blood.
Lakini Mungu alikupenda mno hata akamtoa Mwanawe pekee, Yesu, ili azichukue dhambi zako na kufa pahali pako. "Yeye asiyejua dhambi [Yesu, ambaye hakujua dhambi yo yote] alimfanya kuwa dhambi kwa ajili yetu, ili sisi tupate kuwa haki ya Mungu katika Yeye" (2 Wakorintho 5:21).
