Romans 5:1–9

Results of Justification

1 aTherefore, having been justified by faith, 1bwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom also we have aobtained our introduction by faith into this grace bin which we stand; and 1we exult in hope of the glory of God.

3 aAnd not only this, but 1we also bexult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about cperseverance;

4 and aperseverance, bproven character; and proven character, hope;

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.
