This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 5:21. Τὸν) Him, who knew no sin, who stood in no need of reconciliation;-a eulogium peculiar to Jesus. Mary was not one, ἡ μὴ γνοῦσα, who knew no sin.-ἁμαρτίαν ἐποίησε, made Him to be sin) He was made sin in the same way that we are made righteousness. Who would have dared to speak thus, if Paul had not led the way? comp. Gal 3:13. Therefore Christ was also abandoned on the cross.-ἡμεῖς) we, who knew no righteousness, who must have been destroyed, if the way of reconciliation had not been discovered.-ἐν αὐτῳ, in Him) in Christ. The antithesis is, for us.
