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

¹ Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only so, but we rejoice in afflictions also; because we know that affliction produces patience, ⁴ and patience, an approved character, and an approved character, hope; ⁵ and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.

⁶ For when we were yet without strength, at the appointed time, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For hardly, in deed, will one die for a just man; yet, perhaps, for the good man some one would even dare to die. ⁸ But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us: ⁹ much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
