8. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. II Corinthians 5:21

10. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.

11. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood, to be received by faith.

Romans 3:21-26

for I bear your name,
Lord God Almighty. Jeremiah 15:16
