Romans 5:7
Douay-Rheims
For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
John Chrysostom
Now what he says is somewhat of this kind. For if for a virtuous man, no one would hastily choose to die, consider thy Master's love, when it is not for virtuous men, but for sinners and enemies that He is seen to have been crucified-which he says too after this, "In that, if when we were sinners Christ died for us."
