โNot only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;โ
โBut God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.โ
โand perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:โ
โand hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.โ
โTherefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.โ
โBeing therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;โ
โFor until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.โ
โNevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.โ
โthrough whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.โ
โFor while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.โ
โMuch more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.โ
โFor as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.โ
โFor if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.โ
โBut the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.โ
โThe gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.โ
โFor if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.โ
โSo then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.โ
โFor one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die.โ
โthat, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.โ
โThe law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;โ
โthat as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.โ
โNot only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.โ
โWe maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.โ
โand be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;โ
โSo that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.โ
