But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
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).
