Romans 5:6-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.(A) 7 Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. 8 But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.(B) 9 Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.[a](C) 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.(D) 11 But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Romans 5:6-11
New American Standard Bible
6 For while we were still (A)helpless, (B)at the right time (C)Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [a]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. 8 But God (D)demonstrates (E)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (F)Christ died for us. 9 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.
