Romans 5:1-8

1 Now that we have God's approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 Through Christ we can approach God and stand in his favor. So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God.

2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

3 But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance,

3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

4 endurance creates character, and character creates confidence.

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 We're not ashamed to have this confidence, because God's love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

6 Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people.

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

8 Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God's love for us.

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
