1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: |
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. |
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; |
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: |
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. |
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. |
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. |
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. |
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. |
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. |
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. |
