Romans 5:4

In context

2Through him we have gained access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3And not only that: we boast in our troubles too, because we know that trouble produces endurance, 4endurance produces tested character, and character produces hope. 5And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us. 6For while we were still helpless, at the right moment, Christ died for the ungodly.
