Peace with God Through Faith

¹aTherefore, since we have been justified by faith, bwe1 have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²Through him we have also cobtained access by faith2 into this grace din which we stand, and ewe3 rejoice4 in hope of the glory of God. ³Not only that, but we frejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering gproduces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵and hhope does not put us to shame, because God's love ihas been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁶For jwhile we were still weak, at the right time kChrist died for the ungodly. ⁷For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸but lGod shows his love for us in that mwhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Since, therefore, nwe have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from othe wrath of God. ¹⁰For if pwhile we were enemies qwe were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by rhis life. ¹¹More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received sreconciliation.
