Romans 5:6-11 - Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled
6 For when we were still in weakness, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. For the ungodly! 7 Why, a man will hardly die for the just ??though one might bring oneself to die, if need be, for a good man. 8 But God proves his love for us by this, that Christ died for us when we were still sinners. 9 Much more then, now that we are justified by his blood, shall we be saved by him from Wrath. 10 If we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son when we were enemies, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 Not only so, but we triumph in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we now enjoy our reconciliation.
