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

⁶ Seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God's good time, died on behalf of the godless. ⁷ Even for an upright man scarcely any one will die. For a really good man perhaps some one might even dare to die. ⁸ But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners. ⁹ Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, shall we be saved through him from the Wrath of God. ¹⁰ For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, shall we be saved by virtue of Christ's Life. ¹¹ And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
