Traditional Formulation

Answer: To justify and sanctify those for whom Christ should die.


Adaptation Commentary

See question 45 for adapting “undertake”. Additionally, the answer is simplified from “for whom … should die” to “… would die for.” Modern audiences (and certainly children) don’t care if your sentences end in prepositions.
