Romans 5:3-11

³And not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance;

⁴and endurance, approved character; and approved character, hope.

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

⁶For while we were still weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely on behalf of a righteous man will anyone die; though perhaps for a good man someone might even dare to die.

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

⁹Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

¹⁰For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by His life.

¹¹And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we received the reconciliation.
