Romans 5:1-8 ▼

1 THEREFORE, being justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ;

2 Through him we have been brought by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and are proud in the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we also glory in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation perfects patience in us;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope causes no one to be ashamed; because the love of God is poured in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

6 But Christ at this time, because of our weaknesses, died for the sake of the wicked.

7 Hardly would any man die for the sake of the wicked: but for the sake of the good, one might be willing to die.

8 God has here manifested his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
