"Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious? "
— Romans 5:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”
“For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. ”
“For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”
“For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?”
“For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.”
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”
And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience,
and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,
but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
