Romans 5 : 3 - 5 New International Version (NIV-'84)

3 Not only so,
but we also rejoice
in our sufferings,
because we know
that suffering produces
perseverance;

4 perseverance, character;
and character, hope.

5 And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out
his love into our hearts
by the Holy Spirit,
whom he has given us.
