Summary: By his wounds we are healed.

## Greek text

αὐτὸς δὲ ἐτραυματίσθη διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν καὶ μεμαλάκισται διὰ τὰς ἀνομίας ἡμῶν. παιδεία εἰρήνης ἡμῶν ἐπʼ αὐτόν· τῷ μώλωπι αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς ἰάθημεν.

## English translation (Claude)

But he was wounded because of our sins, and he has been weakened because of our lawless deeds. The chastisement of our peace was upon him; by his bruise we were healed.
