1 Peter 2:24 quotes Isaiah 53:5 in a spiritual/relational healing context, not physical

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 4) 00:03:07 – 00:05:09

Continuing the Isaiah 53:5 / healing-in-the-atonement discussion.

1 Peter 2:24 quotes Isaiah 53:5 ("by his wounds you have been healed") but places it explicitly in the context of sin, dying to sin, and living to righteousness — not physical healing. Mike concludes that the New Testament use of the passage points to freedom from sin and its bondage rather than bodily healing, and cautions against treating the word "spiritual" as a modern English distinction that would have been foreign to the original authors.
