Romans 5:1-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

5 Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

² By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.

³ And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

⁴ And patience trial; and trial hope;

⁵ And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.

⁶ For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

⁷ For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

⁸ But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,

⁹ Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
