Romans 4:25
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
a. NLT: He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.
b. NIV: He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
c. YLT: Who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
d. Amplified Bible: Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God].
1. “Who was delivered for our offences…”
a. Who [Strong: 3739 hos hos, including feminine he hay, and neuter ho ho; probably a primary word (or perhaps a form of the article 3588); the relatively (sometimes demonstrative) pronoun, who, which, what, that:--one, (an-, the) other, some, that, what, which, who(-m, -se), etc.]
b. was delivered [Strong: 3860 paradidomi par-ad-id'-o-mee; from 3844 and 1325; to surrender, i.e yield up, intrust, transmit:--betray, bring forth, cast, commit, deliver (up), give (over, up), hazard, put in prison, recommend.]
c. for [Strong: 1223 dia dee-ah' ; a primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through (in very wide applications, local, causal, or occasional):--after, always, among, at, to avoid, because of (that), briefly, by, for (cause) ... fore, from, in, by occasion of, of, by reason of, for sake, that, thereby, therefore, X though, through(-out), to, wherefore, with (-in). In composition it retains the same general importance.]
d. our [Strong: 2257 hemon hay-mone' ; genitive case plural of 1473; of (or from) us:--our (company), us, we.]
e. offences [Strong: 3900 paraptoma par-ap'-to-mah; from 3895; a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression:--fall, fault, offence, sin, trespass.]
1). Our sin was laid on Jesus while he was on the cross.
a). Isaiah 53:5, 6 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
b). 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2. “…and was raised again for our justification.”
a. and [Strong: 2532 kai kahee; apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:--and, also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.]
b. was raised again [Strong: 1453 egeiro eg-i'-ro; probably akin to the base of 58 (through the idea of collecting one's faculties); to waken (transitively or intransitively), i.e. rouse (literally, from sleep, from sitting or lying, from disease, from death; or figuratively, from obscurity, inactivity, ruins, nonexistence):--awake, lift (up), raise (again, up), rear up, (a-)rise (again, up), stand, take up.]
c. for [Strong: 1223 dia dee-ah' ; a primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through (in very wide applications, local, causal, or occasional):--after, always, among, at, to avoid, because of (that), briefly, by, for (cause) ... fore, from, in, by occasion of, of, by reason of, for sake, that, thereby, therefore, X though, through(-out), to, wherefore, with (-in). In composition it retains the same general importance.]
d. our [Strong: 2257 hemon hay-mone' ; genitive case plural of 1473; of (or from) us:--our (company), us, we.]
e. justification [Strong: 1347 dikaiosis dik-ah'-yo-sis; from 1344; aquittal (for Christ's sake):--justification.]
1). This is why Scripture says that Jesus was justified in Spirit.
a). 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
2). When the sin penalty was paid, when the justice of God was satisfied Jesus was justified and we were justified, and it is then that Jesus came out of the grave.
a). Isaiah 53:10, 11 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
3). The NKJV, Young’s and the New American Standard translations have it right.
a). [New King James Version] “…and was raised because of our justification.”
b). [Young’s Literal Translation] “…and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.”
d). [New American Standard Version] and was raised because of our justification.”
4). When Jesus was justified, we were justified, when Jesus was quickened, we were quickened, when Jesus was raised, we were raised.
a). Justified
(1) 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
(2) Romans 3:24-26 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
b). Quickened and Raised together
(1) Ephesians 2:5, 6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
(2) Though the debt has been paid for the whole world, for every human being, unless they get born again, the price Jesus paid will not benefit them, they will die lost and spend eternity in eternal torment.
c). Jesus was quickened, made alive, because Jesus bore our sin, Jesus became our sin. To the point that the type and foreshadow of our redemption in the Old Testament was a serpent on a pole.
(1) Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
(2) 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
(3) Numbers 21:4-9 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there anywater; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
(4) John 3:14, 15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
