WHILE WE WERE POWERLESS
While we were powerless to help ourselves
at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
Now it is an extraordinary thing for one
to give his life even for an upright man,
though perhaps for a noble and lovable
and generous benefactor someone might
even dare to die.
But God shows and clearly proves His own
love for us by the fact that while we were
still sinners, Christ ( the Messiah,
the Anointed One) died for us.
Therefore, since we are now justified
( brought into right relationship with God)
by Christ’s blood, how much more certain
is that we shall be saved by Him from the
wrath of God.
For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled
to God through the death of His Son,
it is much more certain, now that we are
reconciled,
that we shall be saved ( daily delivered
from sin’s dominion) through His
( resurrection) life.
Not only so, but we also rejoice and
exultingly glory in God
( in His love and perfection) through
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
through Whom we have now received
and enjoy our reconciliation.
( Romans 5. 6-11)
