While We Were Powerless

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)
