7 It isn’t often that someone will die for a righteous person, though maybe someone might dare to die for a good person.
8 But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
9 So, now that we have been made righteous by his blood, we can be even more certain that we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 If we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son while we were still enemies, now that we have been reconciled, how much more certain is it that we will be saved by his life?
11 And not only that: we even take pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, the one through whom we now have a restored relationship with God.
12 Just as through one human being sin came into the world, and death came through sin, so death has come to everyone, since everyone has sinned.
13 Although sin was in the world, since there was no Law, it wasn’t taken into account until the Law came.
