Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
All Commentaries on Romans 5:1 Go To Romans 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The apostle proceeds in this chapter to show how great a benefit it is to be truly justified by the coming of Christ.
Let us have peace with God. That is, says St. Chrysostom, by laying aside all contentions. Or let us have peace with God by sinning no more. And this peace we may have under the greatest tribulations, which conduce to our greater good, to an increase in virtues, in patience, in hope, in the love of God (Witham)
