Romans 5:1-8 ▼

1 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom also we have the access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works endurance;

4 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

5 and the hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

6 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time died for the impious;

7 for scarcely for a righteous man will anyone die, for the good man perhaps someone also dares to die;

8 and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us;
