1

For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ

2

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

3

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting

4

And waiting gives experience and experience, hope:

5

And hope does not put to shame because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

6

For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

7

Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

8

But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

9

Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

10

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life

11

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
