Romans 5:2-5

MLV(i) 2 through whom we also have had our access to this grace in the faith in which we are standing, and we are boasting in hope of the glory of God. 3 But not only in this, but we are also boasting in our afflictions, knowing that affliction is working endurance; 4 and endurance, approved character, and an approved character, hope; 5 and hope does not shame one, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
