Romans 5:6-11
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his [b]time died for the (A)ungodly.
7 [c]Doubtless one will scarce die [d]for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die.
8 But God [e]setteth out his love towards us, seeing that while we were yet [f]sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from [g]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 [h]And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

- Romans 5:6 A sure comfort in adversity, that our peace and quietness of conscience be not troubled: for he that so loved them that were of no strength, and while they were yet sinners, that he died for them, how can he neglect them being now sanctified and living in him?
- Romans 5:6 In time fit and convenient, which the father hath appointed.
- Romans 5:7 An amplifying of the love of God towards us, so that we cannot doubt of it, who delivereth Christ to death for the unjust, and for them of whom he could receive no commodity, and (that more is) for his very enemies. How can it be then that Christ being now alive, should not save them from destruction, whom by his death he justifieth and reconcileth?
- Romans 5:7 In the stead of some just man.
- Romans 5:8 He setteth out his love unto us, that in the midst of our afflictions we may know assuredly, he will be present with us.
- Romans 5:8 While sin reigned in us.
- Romans 5:9 From affliction and destruction.
- Romans 5:11 He now passeth over to the other part of justification, which consisteth in the free imputation of the obedience of Christ: so that to the remission of sins there is added moreover and besides, the gift of Christ’s righteousness imputed or put upon us by faith, which swalloweth up that unrighteousness which flowed from Adam into us, and all the fruits thereof: so that in Christ we do not only cease to be unjust, but we begin also to be just.
