Romans 5:6-11 - Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled
6 While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die. Perhaps for the good man some one would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates (commends) his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath of God through him. 10 While we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son. Being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. 11 We also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation (restoration) (atonement) (divine favor).
