1Therefore being justified
by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;  4And
patience, experience; and experience, hope:  5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in
our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the
ungodly.  7For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.  8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.  10For if, when we
were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall
be saved by his life.  11And not only so,
but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. (Romans
5:1-11, King James
Version)
