Romans 5:2-5 ▼

2 We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,

4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.

5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
