1Another expression I find in 2 Cor. 5.21.2 ⟨p. 7⟩As CHRIST was made sin for us, who knew no sin, so are we made the righteousness of God in him. That is, though CHRIST was a man without sin in himself, yet our sin was imputed to him, and he was by GOD reckoned as a sinner; and then he kills him, putting our curse upon him: so to us that are free from righteousness, CHRIST is made righteousness, so that GOD looks on us as if we had performed perfect righteousness, and when that is done, he saves us. And so much for the first Question.
