Romans 5:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ endurance produces proven character,^(A) and proven character produces hope. ⁵ This hope will not disappoint us,^(B) because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts^(C) through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled

⁶ For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment,^(D) Christ died for the ungodly.
