Romans 5:1-11
Peace with God Through Faith
aTherefore, since we have been justified by faith, bwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also aobtained access by faith into this grace bin which we stand, and cwe rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we arejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering bproduces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and ahope does not put us to shame, because God’s love bhas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For awhile we were still weak, at the right time bChrist died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but aGod shows his love for us in that bwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, awe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from bthe wrath of God. 10 For if awhile we were enemies bwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by chis life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received areconciliation.
