For while we were still (A)helpless, (B)at the right time (C)Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [a]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God (D)demonstrates (E)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (F)Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified [b](G)by His blood, we shall be saved (H)from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were (I)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [c](J)by His life. 11 (K)And not only this, but [d]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received (L)the reconciliation.

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

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.
