Romans 5:9

JustificationThe cross and atonementSalvationJudgment

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

10 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
