2 It's through Jesus, trusting in him, that we've gained access to this position of grace where we now stand, looking forward with happiness and confidence to sharing in God's glory.
3 Not only this—we also remain confident when problems come, because we know that experiencing problems develops spiritual stamina.

5 Since we have this hope we're never disappointed, for God's love has been poured into us through the Holy Spirit he's given us.
