Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
