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

1 Because therefore that we are justified by faith we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom we have a way in, through faith, unto this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the praise that shall be given of God. 3 Neither do we so, only: but also we rejoice in tribulation: For we know that tribulation bringeth patience, 4 patience bringeth experience, experience bringeth hope, 5 and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet weak according to the time: Christ died for us which were ungodly. 7 Yet scarce will any man die for a righteous man. Peradventure for a good man durst a man die. 8 But God setteth out his love that he hath to us; Seeing that while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now seeing we are justified in his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life. 11 Not only so, but we also joy in God by the means of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have received the atonement.
