< Romans 5 >
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore having been justified by faith, let us 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 we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the 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 let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
and endurance, approval; and approval, 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 makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.
8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet 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!
How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from 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 being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:
11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received 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.
Therefore, as by one man sin came into the world, and death by sin; and thus death came upon 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 the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being 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.
but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.
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 not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto 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 not as by the one having sinned, is the free gift; for indeed, judgment was from one unto condemnation, but the free gift is from many transgressions unto justification.
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 transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!)
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.
Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:
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 by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.
20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:
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 )
in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
