1. Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2. through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.
3. And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;
4. and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;
5. and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.
