Jesus did pay the price (i.e. death as the sacrifice for our sin), to save us from the guilt and penalty (punishment) of our sin.
He did not die as the payment to a wrathful god or to suffer as the penalty (punishment) for our sin.
Jesus became the Father's loving and benevolent sin sacrifice for sinners (as the verse should say). He did not become sin, rebellion, corruption, pollution, perversion, wickedness, evil, abomination as the object of an angry and vengeful god.
As the holy Sacrifice of God, Jesus atoned, propitiated, satisfied the justice of a holy and merciful God.
If we don't trust in His salvation, we will be objects of His scorn, wrath and His just judgement.
Jesus became, and was our worthy Sacrifice, and He did it without ever having or becoming sin.
