Romans 5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with 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.
by whom also we have had an introduction through faith into this grace in which we have stood fast, and are rejoicing 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 glory also in tribulations: knowing that tribulation produceth patience;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
and patience, proof; and proof, 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 doth not make us ashamed; because the love of God is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
For even then when we were without strength, Christ died in due time 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 for a righteous person will any one die: though for a good man perhaps some one might 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 commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead.
9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
Therefore much more, being justified already by his blood, shall we be saved by him from wrath.
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 have been reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we 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 so only, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom already we have 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 entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have 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 if there be 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 over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was 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 the transgression, so also is the gift. For if by the transgression of one the many became dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is in that one man, Christ Jesus, hath abounded 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 the gift is not as for one who sinned: for the judgment indeed came by one to condemnation, but the free gift leads to justification from many offences.
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 offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by 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.
Well then, as by the offence of one, judgment issued against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, the gift came to all men for justification unto 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 the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.
20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:
