"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith
,we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this
grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of
the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our
sufferings, because we know that suffering produces
perseverance; perseverance, character; and character,
hope. And hope does not put us to shame,
because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."
- Romans 5:1-5
