Romans 5:6-11 - Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled

⁶ For while we were still helpless, at [just] the proper time, Christ died for ungodly people. ⁷ Someone would not likely die to rescue a righteous person, though possibly someone would dare to die in order to rescue a good person. ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. ⁹ Since we are now made right with God by the blood of Christ [i.e., by His dying on the cross], how much more certain it is that we will be saved from God's wrath [in the future] by Him! ¹⁰ For if while we were [God's] enemies, we were restored to fellowship with Him through the death of His Son, now that we have been restored, how much more [certainly] will we be saved [from condemnation] by His life! ¹¹ And not only is this true, but we also rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have been restored to fellowship with God.
