Romans 5:1


5:1–5 The “therefore” with which chap. 5 begins connects it to what Paul had written in the previous verses. In fact, “since we have been justified through faith” (v. 1) summarizes the entire argument of chaps. 1–4.

Their confidence is based on the fact that Christ was put to death for their sins and raised again that they might be declared just (Rom 4:25).
