Romans 5:6-8

MNT^{(i) 6} For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly. ⁷ Why, a man will hardly give his life for another, even for a righteous man, though perchance for a good man one might even take it upon himself to die. ⁸ But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
