⁶ For while^[a] we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die), ⁸ but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while^[b] we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Therefore, by much more, because we^[c] have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath. ¹⁰ For if, while we^[d] were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only this, but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
