Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin.”

He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

Blessed is the person the Lord will never charge with sin.  

He was delivered up for  our trespasses  and raised for our justification.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.”

who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

David confirms this way of looking at it, saying that the one who trusts God to do the putting-everything-right without insisting on having a say in it is one fortunate man: Fortunate those whose crimes are whisked away, whose sins are wiped clean from the slate. Fortunate the person against whom the Lord does not keep score. Do you think for a minute that this blessing is only pronounced over those of us who keep our religious ways and are circumcised? Or do you think it possible that the blessing could be given to those who never even heard of our ways, who were never brought up in the disciplines of God? We all agree, don’t we, that it was by embracing what God did for him that Abraham was declared fit before God?

Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up. He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.” But it’s not just Abraham; it’s also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. The sacrificed Jesus made us fit for God, set us right with God.

“BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”

He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification.

“BLESSED and HAPPY and FAVORED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT nor CHARGE AGAINST HIM.” [Ps 32:1, 2]

who was betrayed and crucified because of our sins, and was raised [from the dead] because of our justification [our acquittal—absolving us of all sin before God].

blessed is the one against whom the Lord will never count sin .”

He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.
