Stryper
,no edit summary
The name "Stryper" derives from the [[King James Version]] of [[Book of Isaiah|Isaiah]] 53:5:]]
''"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his '''stripes''' we are healed."''[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2053:5;&version=9; (1)]
The scriptural reference is also part of Stryper's logo on most of their releases. In addition, the band's name has been said to stand for:
'''R'''ighteousness."
