Was delivered for our offences; delivered to death on account of our sins.

For our justification; in which is implied the resurrection of our bodies, and our admission, complete in soul and body, to the enjoyment of eternal life in heaven. Both the death of Christ and his resurrection were necessary to complete the work of our redemption. But the apostle naturally ascribes to the former the expiation of sin; to the latter, our introduction, through the justifying grace of God, to a new divine life in holy communion with him.
