New English Translation
10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? 11 Not[a] only this, but we also rejoice[b] in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.
