Romans 5:1-10 ▼

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace by which we have been established, and we boast because of our hope in God's glory.

3 Not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

4 endurance produces character, and character produces hope.

5 Now this hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, the Messiah died for the ungodly.

7 For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person.

8 But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us while we were still sinners.

9 Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him!

10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life!
