Rom 5:1  Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
Rom 5:2  through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 
Rom 5:3  And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 
Rom 5:4  and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 
Rom 5:5  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  NKJV
