3 And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,
4 and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,
5 but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
7 Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
8 But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
9 Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
