(A)And not only this, but [a]we also (B)celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about (C)perseverance; and (D)perseverance, (E)proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope (F)does not disappoint, because the love of God has been (G)poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For while we were still (H)helpless, (I)at the right time (J)Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; [b]though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God (K)demonstrates (L)His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, (M)Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified [c](N)by His blood, we shall be saved (O)from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were (P)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved [d](Q)by His life. 11 (R)And not only this, but [e]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received (S)the reconciliation.
