1 Therefore, having been made righteous by trusting, we have shalom with God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
2 Through Him we also have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast in the hope of God’s glory.
3 And not only that, but we also boast in suffering—knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who was given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Messiah died for the ungodly.
7 For rarely will anyone die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man someone might even dare to die.
