Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification.
All Commentaries on Romans 4:25 Go To Romans 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After mentioning the cause of Christ’s death, Paul goes on to make the same cause a demonstration of the resurrection. For why was Christ crucified? Not for any sins of his own—and this is plain from the resurrection. For if Christ had been a sinner, how could he have risen from the dead? So if he did rise, it is clear that he was not a sinner…. Moreover, Christ did not die in order to make us liable to punishment and condemnation but in order to do good to us.
