The Triumph of Faith
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have 1peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Isa 32:17Jhn 16:33Rom 15:13Act 13:38-39Col 1:20Rom 6:23Jhn 14:27Eph 2:14-17 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice 2in the hope of the glory of God. Eph 2:18Eph 3:12Rom 12:121Co 15:11Pe 3:182Th 2:16Heb 3:62Co 4:17
Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; Jas 1:2-3Jas 1:121Pe 3:142Co 12:9-102Co 4:17Luk 6:22-23Rom 8:35-37Heb 12:10-11 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 1Pe 5:10Jas 1:122Co 4:8-121Pe 1:6-72Ti 4:16-18Psa 71:18-24Psa 27:2-32Co 1:4-6 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly
(John 3:1–21)
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Eph 2:1-5Rom 5:8Col 2:13Tit 3:3-5Rom 5:10Rom 4:25Tit 2:121Th 5:9 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. Jhn 15:131Jn 3:16Rom 16:4Act 11:24Psa 112:52Sa 18:272Sa 23:14-172Sa 18:3 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jhn 15:13Jhn 3:16Rom 5:61Pe 3:181Jn 3:161Jn 4:9-10Isa 53:6Eph 2:7
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him! 1Th 1:10Rom 8:1Eph 2:13Rom 3:24-26Jhn 5:24Rom 1:18Rom 5:1Heb 9:22 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 2Co 5:18-192Co 4:10-11Rom 8:32Col 1:20-21Eph 2:16Heb 7:25Rev 1:18Col 3:3-4 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 2Co 5:18-19Rom 5:10Isa 61:10Hab 3:17-18Php 4:4Col 2:6Gal 4:9Psa 149:2
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
(Genesis 3:1–7)
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned. 1Co 15:21-22Rom 5:19Rom 6:23Rom 3:23Jas 1:15Gen 2:17Psa 51:5Gen 3:19 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Rom 4:151Co 15:561Jn 3:4Gen 4:7-11Gen 38:10Gen 38:7Gen 13:13Gen 18:20 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come. 1Co 15:45Heb 9:27Rom 5:17Gen 7:22Rom 5:21Rom 8:22Gen 19:25Hos 6:7
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many! Eph 2:8Rom 5:12Rom 6:231Jn 5:112Co 9:15Isa 53:11Rom 5:16-201Jn 2:2 Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. Act 13:38-39Isa 1:18Isa 44:22Isa 43:251Co 11:321Co 6:9-111Ti 1:13-16Gal 3:10 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! 1Co 15:21-221Co 15:49Rom 5:12Jhn 10:102Ti 2:12Rev 22:5Gen 3:6Rev 20:4
So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men. 1Co 15:22Rom 5:12Rom 5:15Act 13:39Rom 5:19Rom 4:251Ti 2:4-6Heb 2:9 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Rom 5:182Co 5:21Php 2:8Rom 5:12Eph 1:6Rom 5:15Dan 9:24Isa 53:10-12
The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more, Rom 6:1Psa 25:11Tit 3:3-7Rom 6:14Gal 3:19-25Rom 4:15Eph 2:1-5Isa 1:18 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Tit 2:11Jhn 1:16-17Rom 5:14Rom 6:14Rom 6:23Rom 8:10Rom 5:12Rom 5:17
