Romans 5:1-8 New International Version (NIV)

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we^[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we^[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. ³ Not only so, but we^[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

⁶ You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Background

5:1–21 Grace Abounds

Paul argued that by the impact of this righteous gift believers are given salvation from the wrath of God (5:9). God has reconciled godless and unrighteous enemies to Himself (5:10–11). Thus they “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (5:1). Paul, by way of a typology, demonstrated that sin and death came to men and women through Adam; righteousness and life, through Jesus Christ (5:11–21). Sin had been intensified by the transgression of the law. Thus greater grace was needed. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more (5:20).
