Romans 5:1-5

Results of Justification

5 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 

² through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 

³ And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, 

⁴ and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 

⁵ and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
