1 Peter 2:23-24

V24… He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed

1 Peter 2:24 is one of my favorite verses mainly because it mirrors my favorite passage of scripture in all of God’s word

Isaiah 53:3-6

3 He was despised and

rejected1 by men;

    a man of sorrows,2 and

acquainted with3 grief;4

and as one from whom

men hide their faces5

he was despised, and

we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he has borne our griefs

and carried our sorrows;

yet we esteemed him stricken,

smitten by God, and afflicted.

 5 But he was pierced

for our transgressions;

he was crushed

for our iniquities;

upon him was the

chastisement that

brought us peace,

and with his wounds

we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray;

we have turned—every one—

to his own way;

rand the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.
