[a]And hope maketh not ashamed, because the [b]love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy Ghost, which is given unto us.

Footnotes

  1. Romans 5:5 The ground of hope is an assured testimony of the conscience, by the gift of the holy Ghost, that we are beloved of God, and this is nothing else but that which we call faith: whereof it followeth, that through faith our consciences are quieted.
  2. Romans 5:5 Wherewith he loveth us.
  3. Romans 5:6 A sure comfort in adversity, that our peace and quietness of conscience be not troubled: for he that so loved them that were of no strength, and while they were yet sinners, that he died for them, how can he neglect them being now sanctified and living in him?
  4. Romans 5:6 In time fit and convenient, which the father hath appointed.
  5. Romans 5:7 An amplifying of the love of God towards us, so that we cannot doubt of it, who delivereth Christ to death for the unjust, and for them of whom he could receive no commodity, and (that more is) for his very enemies. How can it be then that Christ being now alive, should not save them from destruction, whom by his death he justifieth and reconcileth?
  6. Romans 5:7 In the stead of some just man.
