1. Therefore, having been made righteous by trusting, we have shalom with God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
2. Through Him we also have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand and boast in the hope of God’s glory.
3. And not only that, but we also boast in suffering—knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4. and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5. And hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who was given to us.
