Romans 5:6-8 ALT
(6) For Christ, while we were still weak [or, helpless], at the right time, died on behalf of the impious [or, ungodly]. (7) For scarcely [or, only rarely] will anyone die on behalf of a righteous [person]; for perhaps someone even dares [or, might be prepared] to die on behalf of the good [person]. (8) But God demonstrates His own love to us, [in] that us still being sinners [or, while we were still sinners], Christ died on our behalf.

Romans 5:6-8 ASV
(6) For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. (7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. (8) But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:6-8 BBE
(6) For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers. (7) Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life. (8) But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
