The Justified Are Reconciled
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time, 5:6 Gl 4:4 Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves 5:8 Rm 3:5 his own love for us 5:8 Jn 3:16; 15:13; Rm 8:39 in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 10 For if, while we were enemies, 5:10 Rm 11:28; 2Co 5:18–20; Eph 2:3; Col 1:21 we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. 5:10 Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25
