5Therefore, ^ahaving been justified by faith, ¹we have ^bpeace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ²^cthrough whom also we have access by faith into this grace ^din which we stand, and ^erejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³And not only that, but ^fwe also glory in tribulations, ^gknowing that tribulation produces ²perseverance; ⁴^hand perseverance, ³character; and character, hope. ⁵ⁱNow hope does not disappoint, ^jbecause the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Christ in Our Place

⁶For when we were still without strength, ⁴in due time ^kChrist died for the ungodly. ⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸But ^lGod demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Much more then, having now been justified ^mby His blood, we shall be saved ⁿfrom wrath through Him. ¹⁰For ^oif when we were enemies ^pwe were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^qby His life. ¹¹And not only that, but we also ^rrejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

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.
