004:018 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."{Genesis 15:5} 004:019 Without being weakened in faith, he didn't consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 004:020 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, 004:021 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 004:022 Therefore it also was "reckoned to him for righteousness."{Genesis 15:6} 004:023 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone, 004:024 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead, 004:025 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. 005:001 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 005:002 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 005:003 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; 005:004 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: 005:005 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 005:006 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 005:007 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. 005:008 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 005:009 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him. 005:010 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. 005:011 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 005:012 Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned. 005:013 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law. 005:014 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come. 005:015 But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God,
