1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 who has given us access by faith to that degree of favour, we are in, by which we triumph in the hopes of divine glory. 3 and not only so, but we triumph in tribulation also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, probation; 4 and probation, hope: 5 now hope will not deceive us, because the love of God is diffused thro' our hearts, by the holy spirit which is given to us; 6 for at the appointed time Christ died for us, when we were in a helpless, sinful state. 7 now for a wicked man no one would willingly die; but for a benefactor some have readily offer'd to die. 8 but herein hath God displayed his love towards us, in that Christ died for us, even while we were yet sinners. Romans 5:1-8, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
