Romans

³And not only so, but let us also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; ⁴and patience, probation; and probation, hope: ⁵and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost which was given unto us. ⁶For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. ⁸But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.
