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

1 Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ, 2 by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God. 3 And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience; 4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope; 5 and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

6 For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us. 9 Then much more now justified in his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled with God by the death of his Son, much more, now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only this, but we even glory in God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.
