Romans 5:6-11
New Living Translation
6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Christ in Our Place
6 For when we were still without strength, [a]in due time (A)Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But (B)God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified (C)by His blood, we shall be saved (D)from wrath through Him. 10 For (E)if when we were enemies (F)we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved (G)by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also (H)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

The Justified Are Reconciled
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time,(A) Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves(B) his own love for us(C) in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood,(D) will we be saved through him from wrath.(E) 10 For if, while we were enemies,(F) we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.(G) 11 And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.(H)

6 You see, at just the right time,(A) when we were still powerless,(B) Christ died for the ungodly.(C) 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(D)
9 Since we have now been justified(E) by his blood,(F) how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath(G) through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies,(H) we were reconciled(I) to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(J) 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.(K)

6 When the time was right, the Anointed One died for all of us who were far from God, powerless, and weak. 7 Now it is rare to find someone willing to die for an upright person, although it’s possible that someone may give up his life for one who is truly good. 8 But think about this: while we were wasting our lives in sin, God revealed His powerful love to us in a tangible display—the Anointed One died for us. 9 As a result, the blood of Jesus has made us right with God now, and certainly we will be rescued by Him from God’s wrath in the future. 10 If we were in the heat of combat with God when His Son reconciled us by laying down His life, then how much more will we be saved by Jesus’ resurrection life? 11 In fact, we stand now reconciled and at peace with God. That’s why we celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed.
