Put up with error from substitutes (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stands in

'substitutes' is the definition.
('stand in' can be a synonym of 'substitute')

'put up with error' is the wordplay.
'put up with' becomes 'stand' ('stand' can be a synonym of 'put up with').
'error' becomes 'sin' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stand'+'sin'='STANDS IN'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stands in that I've seen before include "Acts as sub" , "Acts as a substitute" , "acts for the moment" , "Deputises" , "deputy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
