The verses around Romans 5:8.
6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Verse explanation
In contrast with the rare example of the previous verse, God’s love proves itself in precisely the opposite of what was expected: Christ died for people who were still sinners, not for people who were already good.
