1
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2
through whom we have also obtained access into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.
3
Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
4
and endurance, character, and character, hope.
5
And 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.
