Romans 5:1–11

Results of Justification

5 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, wex have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,* 2 through whom we have obtained accessy to this grace in which we stand, and wez boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.* 3 And not only that, but wea also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance,* 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.*

6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.* 7 Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8 But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.* 9 Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.b,* 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.* 11 But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
