Romans 5:1-11 - Reconciliation With God Through Faith In Christ

¹ Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, ⁴ and perseverance, character, and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die. ⁸ But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
