Romans 5:6–11

He died for those who were still weak: this is how God shows his love

6For while we were still weak, at the right time the Messiah died for the ungodly.

7For scarcely will anyone die for a righteous person; though for the good person perhaps someone even dares to die.

8But God shows his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, the Messiah died for us.

9Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.

10For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

11And not only that, but we are also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

In its context

4and perseverance produces proven character, and proven character, hope.

5And hope does not put us to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

…

12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death spread to all people, because all sinned—

13For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged when there is no law.
