Romans 5:1-8 ▼

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.
