3 Not only so, but we also boast in tribulation, knowing that tribulation produces patience,
4 patience produces character, and character produces hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 How much more then, being now justified by His blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.
