For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
