5Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have^e peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²He has brought us by faith into this experience of God’s grace, in which we now live. And so we boast^f of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory! ³We also boast^g of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, ⁴endurance brings God’s approval, and his approval creates hope. ⁵This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to us.

⁶For when we were still helpless, Christ died for the wicked at the time that God chose. ⁷It is a difficult thing for someone to die for a righteous person. It may even be that someone might dare to die for a good person. ⁸But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us! ⁹By his blood^h we are now put right with God; how much more, then, will we be saved by him from God’s anger! ¹⁰We were God’s enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God’s friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ’s life! ¹¹But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has now made us God’s friends.

Read in Logos

Romans 5:10: For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
