But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: |
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption - |
But by His doing (of Him) you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and (both) righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, |
|
It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God – that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. |
But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin]. |
But as for you, out from Him as a source are you in Christ Jesus who became wisdom for us from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption, |
|
Yet from this same God you have received your standing in Jesus Christ, and He has become for us the true wisdom, a matter, in practice, of being made righteous and holy, in fact, of being redeemed. |
So you owe it all to Him though union with Christ Jesus, whom God has made our wisdom, our means of right standing, our consecration, and our redemption, |
