Romans 5:8 in the King James Version
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Context
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
