The Triumph of Faith

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have[fn] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice[fn] in [the] hope of the glory of God.

3 Not only [that], but we also rejoice in [our] sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 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.
