22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But (A)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us (B)who believe in (C)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 (D)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised (E)for our justification.

Peace with God Through Faith

(F)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, (G)we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also (H)obtained access by faith[b] into this grace (I)in which we stand, and (J)we[c] rejoice[d] in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we (K)rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering (L)produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and (M)hope does not put us to shame, because God's love (N)has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
