“The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.”

Psalm 103:8

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:6-8
