From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 10. For if. The idea in this verse is simply a repetition and enlargement of that in Ro 5:9. The apostle dwells on the thought, and places it in a new light, furnishing thus a strong confirmation of his position. When we were enemies. The work was undertaken while we were enemies. From being enemies we were changed to friends by that work. Thus it was commenced by God; its foundation was laid while we were still hostile to it; it evinced, therefore, a determined purpose on the part of God to perform it; and he has thus given a pledge that it shall be perfected. We were reconciled, See Barnes "Mt 5:24". We are brought to an agreement; to a state of friendship and union.
