Romans 5:3-8

3Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

4and endurance, character, and character, hope.

5And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)

8But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
