Isaiah 53:4-6

4 aSurely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
bsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 cBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
dand with his wounds we are healed.
6 eAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
fand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21

20Therefore, gwe are ambassadors for Christ, hGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 iFor our sake he made him to be sin jwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become kthe righteousness of God.
