Romans 5:1-11 AMP THEREFORE, SINCE we are Justified (Acquitted, declared Righteous, and given a Right Standing with GOD) through FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [The Peace of Reconciliation to Hold and to enjoy] peace with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Through HIM also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by FAITH into this Grace in which we [Firmly and Safely] STAND. And let us Rejoice and Exult in our HOPE of experiencing and enjoying THE GLORY OF GOD. Moreover let us exult and triumph in our troubles and Rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that Pressure and Affliction and Hardship PRODUCE Patient and Unswerving Endurance. And Endurance (fortitude) DEVELOPS Maturity of Character (APPROVED Faith and TRIED Integrity). And Character PRODUCES Joyful and Confident HOPE of Eternal SALVATION. Such Hope NEVER Disappoints or Deludes or Shames us, for GODS LOVE has been Poured out in our hearts through the HOLY SPIRIT Who has been Given to us. While we were yet in weakness [Powerless to help ourselves], at the Fitting time CHRIST DIED for the ungodly. Now it is an Extraordinary Thing for one to give HIS LIFE even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. But GOD shows and clearly proves HIS LOVE for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, CHRIST died for us. Therefore, since we are now Justified (Brought into Right Relationship with GOD) by CHRISTS BLOOD, how much more we shall be Saved by HIM from the indignation and wrath of GOD. For if while we were enemies we were Reconciled to GOD through the Death of HIS SON, it is much more [certain], now that we are Reconciled, that we shall be Saved through HIS [RESURRECTION] LIFE. Not only so, but we also Rejoice and Exultingly GLORY IN GOD [in HIS LOVE and PERFECTION] through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, through WHOM we have now Received and Enjoy RECONCILIATION.
