Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore, since
we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which
we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know
that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love
into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
