⁶ For at just the right time, while we were still powerless,^[a] the Messiah^[b] died for the ungodly. ⁷ For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person. ⁸ But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah^[c] died for us while we were still sinners.

⁹ Now that we have been justified by his blood, how much more will we be saved from wrath through him! ¹⁰ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life! ¹¹ Not only that, but we also continue to boast about God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah,^[d] through whom we have now been reconciled.
