1

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ

2

through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3

And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness

4

and stedfastness, approvedness and approvedness, hope:

5

and hope putteth not to shame because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

6

For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

7

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.

8

But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath [of God] through him.

10

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life

11

and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
