Romans 5:3-11

3Not only that, but we arejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering bproduces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and chope does not put us to shame, because God’s love dhas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

6For ewhile we were still weak, at the right time fChrist died for the ungodly. 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous personthough perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die 8but gGod shows his love for us in that hwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, iwe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from jthe wrath of God. 10For if kwhile we were enemies lwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by mhis life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received nreconciliation.
