Peace with God Through Faith

5 ^(A)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, ^(B)we^[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

² Through him we have also ^(A)obtained access by faith^[a] into this grace ^(B)in which we stand, and ^(C)we^[b] rejoice^[c] in hope of the glory of God.

³ Not only that, but we ^(A)rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering ^(B)produces endurance,

⁴ and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

⁵ and ^(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.
