1 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience, 4 and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope; 5 and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For hardly, in deed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die. 8 But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us: Romans 5:1-8, Anderson New Testament.
