“Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:”
Who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father — the crucifixion is cast as both redemptive sacrifice and cosmic liberation (aion, 'age'), with Christ's self-gift as the mechanism of eschatological rescue from the powers that enslave humanity.
