Romans 5:2-5

2We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

3And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,

4endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.

5This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
