Southern Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation." — Romans 5:11 (ASV)

But also glorying in God (αλλα κα καυχωμενο εν τω θεω). Basis of all the exultation above (verses 1-5).

Through whom we have now received the reconciliation (δ ου νυν την καταλλαγην ελαβομεν). Second aorist active indicative of λαμβανω, looked at as a past realization, "now" (νυν) in contrast with the future consummation and a sure pledge and guarantee of it.
