Romans 5:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God's glory.

3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

4 and endurance, character, and character, hope.

5 And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 (For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
