因信稱義的福氣

這樣,我們既然因信稱義,就藉著我們的主耶穌基督與神和好了; 我們也藉著他,因信[a]進入了現在所站的這恩典中,並且以盼望神的榮耀而誇耀。 不僅如此,我們也以患難誇耀,因為我們知道患難生出忍耐, 忍耐生出品德[b],品德生出盼望, 而這盼望不使人羞愧,因為神的愛藉著所賜給我們的聖靈,已經傾注在我們的心裡。

與神和好的人

原來,當我們還軟弱的時候,基督就按照所定的時候為不敬虔的人死了。 為義人死,是少有的;為好人死,或許有敢做的; 但是,當我們還是罪人的時候,基督就替我們死了。神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。 所以,我們現在既然藉著基督的血被稱為義,難道不更要藉著他,從神的[c]震怒中被拯救出來嗎? 10 這樣,我們做神敵人的時候,尚且能藉著神兒子的死與神和好,何況和好以後,難道不更要藉著神兒子的生命得救嗎? 11 不僅如此,我們現在藉著主耶穌基督與神[d]和好了,就更要藉著他以神誇耀。

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

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

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall 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, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
