Romans 5:8
But God demonstrated his love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage presents Christ's death for people described as sinners as evidence of God's love. Its emphasis falls on the timing: the love is demonstrated while that condition remains. One reading is that the sacrifice comes before improvement, making the act central to the passage's claim.
