²⁰ No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹ fully convinced that ^(A)God was able to do what he had promised. ²² That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” ²³ But ^(B)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, ²⁴ but for ours also. It will be counted to us ^(C)who believe in ^(D)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, ^25 (E)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ^(F)for our justification.

Peace with God Through Faith

5 ^(G)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, ^(H)we^[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ because, if ^(A)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and ^(B)believe in your heart ^(C)that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Benediction

²⁰ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ^(C)the great shepherd of the sheep, by ^(D)the blood of the eternal covenant, ^21 (E)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(F)working in us^[a] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(G)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
