So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>endurance creates character, and character creates confidence. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>We're not ashamed to have this confidence, because God's love has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Finding someone who would die for a godly person is rare. Maybe someone would have the courage to die for a good person. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This demonstrates God's love for us. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Since Christ's blood has now given us God's approval, we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God's anger. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>In addition, our Lord Jesus Christ lets us continue to brag about God. After all, it is through Christ that we now have this restored relationship with God.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Sin came into the world through one person, and death came through sin. So death spread to everyone, because everyone sinned. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Sin was in the world before there were any laws. But no record of sin can be kept when there are no laws. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Yet, death ruled from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin in the same way Adam did when he disobeyed. Adam is an image of the one who would come.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>There is no comparison between [God's] gift and [Adam's] failure. If humanity died as the result of one person's failure, it is certainly true that God's kindness and the gift given through the kindness of one person, Jesus Christ, have been showered on humanity. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>There is also no comparison between [God's] gift and the one who sinned. The verdict which followed one person's failure condemned everyone. But, even after many failures, the gift brought God's approval. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>It is certain that death ruled because of one person's failure. It's even more certain that those who receive God's overflowing kindness and the gift of his approval will rule in life because of one person, Jesus Christ.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Therefore, everyone was condemned through one failure, and everyone received God's life-giving approval through one verdict. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Clearly, through one person's disobedience humanity became sinful, and through one person's obedience humanity will receive God's approval. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Laws were added to increase the failure. But where sin increased, God's kindness increased even more. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/5-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>As sin ruled by bringing death, God's kindness would rule by bringing us his approval. This results in our living forever because of Jesus Christ our Lord.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
