1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:
5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.
