⁵and ^(A)hope does not put us to shame, because God's love ^(B)has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁶For ^(C)while we were still weak, at the right time ^(D)Christ 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 ^(E)God shows his love for us in that ^(F)while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Since, therefore, ^(G)we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^(H)the wrath of God. ¹⁰For if ^(I)while we were enemies ^(J)we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by ^(K)his life. ¹¹More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(L)reconciliation.
