“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
King James Version (KJV)
5:8 But God recommendeth - A most elegant expression. Those are wont to be recommended to us, who were before either unknown to, or alienated from, us. While we were sinners - So far from being good, that we were not even just.
Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love. His love is not like human love. Christ died, not for friends, but for enemies. It was "while we were yet sinners" that he died for us.
But God commendeth his loue towards vs, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.
