< Romans 5 >

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
and perseverance, character, and character, hope.
5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.
8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.
11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.
13 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming man.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.
16 Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.
20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,
21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
