Romans 5:8 Context
6For when wee were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the vngodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peraduenture for a good man, some would euen dare to dye. 8But God commendeth his loue towards vs, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs. 9Much more then being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him. 10For if when wee were enemies, we were reconciled to God, by the death of his sonne: much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life.

Wesley's Notes for Romans 5:8
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.
