Romans 5

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Introduction

1  Being justified by faith, we have peace with God;
2  and joy in our hope;
8  that since we were reconciled by his blood, when we were enemies;
10  we shall much more be saved, being reconciled.
12  As sin and death came by Adam;
17  so much more righteousness and life by Jesus Christ.
20  Where sin abounded, grace did superabound.
