Isaiah 53:5-6
New International Version
5 But he was pierced(A) for our transgressions,(B)
he was crushed(C) for our iniquities;
the punishment(D) that brought us peace(E) was on him,
and by his wounds(F) we are healed.(G)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(H)
each of us has turned to our own way;(I)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(J) of us all.

Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(A) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(B) 22 This righteousness(C) is given through faith(D) in[a] Jesus Christ(E) to all who believe.(F) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(G) 23 for all have sinned(H) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(I) freely by his grace(J) through the redemption(K) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[b](L) through the shedding of his blood(M)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(N)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 4:17-25
New International Version
17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[a](A) He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life(B) to the dead and calls(C) into being things that were not.(D)
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,(E) just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[b](F) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead(G)—since he was about a hundred years old(H)—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.(I) 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened(J) in his faith and gave glory to God,(K) 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.(L) 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”(M) 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,(N) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him(O) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.(P) 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins(Q) and was raised to life for our justification.(R)

New International Version
6 You see, at just the right time,(A) when we were still powerless,(B) Christ died for the ungodly.(C) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(D)
9 Since we have now been justified(E) by his blood,(F) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(G) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(H) we were reconciled(I) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(J) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(K)
Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man,(L) and death through sin,(M) and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned(N)—
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.(O) 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam,(P) who is a pattern of the one to come.(Q)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,(R) how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,(S) overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(T) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life(U) through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(V) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(W) and life(X) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(Y) the many were made sinners,(Z) so also through the obedience(AA) of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(AB) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(AC) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(AD) so also grace(AE) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(AF) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 6:20

2 Corinthians 5:14-21
New International Version
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.(A) 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves(B) but for him who died for them(C) and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly(D) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(E) the new creation(F) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!(G) 18 All this is from God,(H) who reconciled us to himself through Christ(I) and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.(J) And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,(K) as though God were making his appeal through us.(L) We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.(M) 21 God made him who had no sin(N) to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(O)

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(G) in your minds(H) because of[a] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(I) you by Christ’s physical body(J) through death to present you(K) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(L)— 23 if you continue(M) in your faith, established(N) and firm, and do not move from the hope(O) held out in the gospel.
