Romans 5

Romans 5:8 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Epistle to the Romans written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This passage is significant in Christian theology as it emphasizes the concept of God's love and grace extended to humanity despite their sinful nature. The phrase "while we were still sinners" underscores the unconditional and sacrificial love of God, manifested through the death of Jesus Christ. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as "אֲבָל אֱלֹהִים מַרְאֶה אֶת אַהֲבָתוֹ לָנוּ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה, שֶׁבְּעוֹד אֲנַחְנוּ חוֹטְאִים, מֵשִׁיחַ מֵת לָנוּ." For those who speak Spanish, the translation is: "Pero Dios muestra su amor para con nosotros, en que siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros." In German, it is: "Sondern Gott beweist seine Liebe zu uns darin, dass Christus, während wir noch Sünder waren, für uns gestorben ist." This verse is often cited in discussions about salvation, atonement, and the nature of God's love, serving as a cornerstone for Christian beliefs on grace and redemption.
