The great exchange



But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
~Isaiah 53:5-6

For you know it was not with perishable things
such as silver or gold
that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your forefathers,
but with the precious blood of Christ, 
a lamb without blemish or defect.
~1 Peter 1:18-19

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
~2 Corinthians 5:21

For Christ died for sins once for all,
the righteous for the unrighteous,
to bring you to God.
He was put to death in the body 
but made alive by the Spirit.
~1 Peter 3:18

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree,
so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;
by His wounds you have been healed.
For you were like sheep going astray,
but now you have returned
to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
1 Peter 2:24-25
