Who was delivered up to death as a sacrifice for our sins; for in what other way, or for what other purpose could He, who is innocence itself, be delivered for our offenses? (Dr. Adam Clarke)
"He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification." (NASB)
"Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." (KJV)
"He was handed over to die because of our sins, and He was raised to life to make us right with God." (NLT)
"He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification." (NET)
"Because of our sins he was given over to die, and he was raised to life in order to put us right with God." (GNB)
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding His blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, (Romans 3:25 NLT)
But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on Him the sins of us all. (Isaiah 53:5-6 NLT)

He was raised that we might have the fullest assurance that the death of Christ had accomplished the end for which it took place; viz. our reconciliation to God, and giving us a title to that eternal life, into which he has entered, and taken with him our human nature, as the first-fruits of the resurrection of mankind.
