Peace with God Through Faith

8 but l God shows his love for us in that m while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, n we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from o the wrath of God. 10 For if p while we were enemies q we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by r his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received s reconciliation.
