Romans (羅馬書) 5:1-5 1我們既因信稱義，就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。2我們又藉著他，因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中，並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀。 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Romans (羅馬書) 5:1-5 3不但如此，就是在患難中也是歡歡喜喜的；因為知道患難生忍耐，4忍耐生老練，老練生盼望；5盼望不至於羞恥，因為所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

I. Suffering Produces Perseverance. 患難生忍耐 (5:3b).

Psalm (詩篇 58:3-6) 3惡人一出母胎就與　神疏遠，一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。4他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣；他們好像塞耳的聾虺，. . . 6　 神啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙；耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！ 3Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies. 4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, . . . 6Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
