This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For our justification (dia tēn dikaiōsin hēmōn). The first clause (paredothē dia ta paraptōmata) is from Isa 53:12. The first dia with paraptōmata is probably retrospective, though it will make sense as prospective (to make atonement for our transgressions). The second dia is quite clearly prospective with a view to our justification. Paul does not mean to separate the resurrection from the death of Christ in the work of atonement, but simply to show that the resurrection is at one with the death on the Cross in proof of Christ’s claims.
