1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus the Messiah,

2through whom we also have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

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

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

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