Romans 5:6

Read in context

Romans 5:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
