Romans 5:1–11

Peace with God Through Faith

5^aTherefore, since we have been justified by faith, ^bwe¹ have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²Through him we have also ^cobtained access by faith² into this grace ^din which we stand, and ^ewe³ rejoice⁴ in hope of the glory of God. ³Not only that, but we ^frejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering ^gproduces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵and ^hhope does not put us to shame, because God’s love ⁱhas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁶For ^jwhile we were still weak, at the right time ^kChrist died for the ungodly. ⁷For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸but ^lGod shows his love for us in that ^mwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Since, therefore, ⁿwe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^othe wrath of God. ¹⁰For if ^pwhile we were enemies ^qwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^rhis life. ¹¹More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^sreconciliation.
