5 and hope adoes not disappoint, because the love of God has been bpoured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 For while we were still ahelpless, bat the right time cChrist died for the ungodly.

7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; 1though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

8 But God ademonstrates bHis own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, cChrist died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified 1aby His blood, we shall be saved bfrom the wrath of God through Him.

10 For if while we were aenemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved 1bby His life.

11 aAnd not only this, 1but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received bthe reconciliation.

12 Therefore, just as through aone man sin entered into the world, and bdeath through sin, and cso death spread to all men, because all sinned—

13 for 1until the Law sin was in the world, but asin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned ain the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a 1btype of Him who was to come.
