Readings for Lent and Easter

5 Then, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,

² by Whom, through faith, we also have access into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God.

³ Not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings forth patience

⁴ and patience, experience; and experience, hope.

⁵ And hope does not humiliate. Because the Holy Ghost, Who is given to us, drenches our hearts with the love of God.

⁶ For Christ, when we were still without strength, at His time, died for the ungodly.

⁷ Doubtless, one will scarcely die for a righteous man. Although, for a good man it may be that one dare die.

⁸ But God exhibits his love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹ Much more, then, being justified now by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more so (being reconciled) shall we be saved by his life.

¹¹ And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received reconciliation.
