New International Version NIV
1 Therefore we, justified of faith, have we peace at God by our Lord Jesus Christ.
1
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 By whom we have nigh going to [By whom we have access, or nigh going to], by faith into this grace, in which we stand, and have glory in the hope of the glory of God's children.
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 And not this only, but also we glory in tribulations, witting that tribulation worketh patience,
3
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and patience proving, and proving hope.
4
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope confoundeth not, for the charity of God is spread abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, that is 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 And while that we were frail [When we were yet sick] after the time, what died Christ for wicked men?
6
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely dieth any man for the just man; and yet for a good man peradventure some man dare die.
7
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
