Romans 5:6-9 

 You see at the just the right time when we were still powerless,

Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous

man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But

God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still

sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his

blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through

him!
