"We Even Boast of Our Afflictions..."


"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith
to this grace in which we stand,
and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

"Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions,
knowing that affliction produces endurance,
and endurance, proven character,
and proven character, hope.

"And hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God 

has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

~Romans 5:1-5
