2 through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces patient endurance,
4 and patient endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),
8 but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
