In context
3 And not only so: but we glory also in tribulation, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience trial; and trial hope;
5 And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us.
6 For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
7 For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time.
9 Christ died for us. Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
