1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4. And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5. And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
8. But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
