Romans 5:1-8 ▼

1 Having been justified, therefore, by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through Whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have been standing; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so , but we also rejoice in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation works out patience;

4 and patience, approval; and approval, hope;

5 and hope makes not ashamed; 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 yet weak, Christ, in due season, died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; for, peradventure, in behalf of a good man, some one even dares to die.

8 But God commendeth His own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
