Romans 5:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance;

4 and endurance, approval; and approval, hope:

5 and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.

6 For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:

7 for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.

8 And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.
