But God [e]setteth out his love towards us, seeing that while we were yet [f]sinners, Christ died for us.

Footnotes

  1. 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?
  2. Romans 5:6 In time fit and convenient, which the father hath appointed.
  3. 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?
  4. Romans 5:7 In the stead of some just man.
  5. Romans 5:8 He setteth out his love unto us, that in the midst of our afflictions we may know assuredly, he will be present with us.
  6. Romans 5:8 While sin reigned in us.
