Psalms 4:6-7

“Behold, ^rmy servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;

but you shall be thirsty;

and shall wail for breaking of spirit.

and my chosen shall long enjoy ^{▼▼Hebrew shall wear out} the work of their hands.
23 ^xThey shall not labor in vain
^yor bear children for calamity, ^{▼▼Or for sudden terror}

^acwhile they are yet speaking I will hear.

Romans 5:1

Peace with God Through Faith

1 ^adTherefore, since we have been justified by faith, ^aewe ^{▼▼Some manuscripts let us} have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:5-11

5 and ^aghope does not put us to shame, because God’s love ^ahhas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

6 For ^aiwhile we were still weak, at the right time ^ajChrist died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but ^akGod shows his love for us in that ^alwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, ^amwe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^anthe wrath of God. 10 For if ^aowhile we were enemies ^apwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^aqhis life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^arreconciliation.
