Romans 5:2-8

English Standard Version

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 ^(D)rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering ^(E)produces endurance, ⁴ and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵ and ^(F)hope does not put us to shame, because God's love ^(G)has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁶ For ^(H)while we were still weak, at the right time ^(I)Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸ but ^(J)God shows his love for us in that ^(K)while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
