Romans 5:3-11

³Not only so, but we should also rejoice in the sufferings, knowing that the suffering produces perseverance;

⁴and the perseverance, proven character; and the proven character, hope;

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

⁶Now then, when we were incapacitated, even so Christ died for the ungodly, at the right moment.

⁷Now scarcely even for a righteous person will someone offer to die (although on behalf of a good man someone might dare even to die),

⁸but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!

⁹So now that we have been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from the wrath through Him!

¹⁰Because since we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, while we were enemies, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

¹¹No wonder we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation!
