Romans 5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore, since we have been justified 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.
through whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast 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;
Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces 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 put to shame, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were still weak, at the right 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.
Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone 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 demonstrated his own love for us in 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!
How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will 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, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more will we be saved by his life now that we have been reconciled!
11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have 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, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, in this way death has come to all men, because 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 charged to anyone's account 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 whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one 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 the gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through the trespass of the one man, how much more have the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abounded to 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 cannot be compared to the result of the one man's sin; for the judgment that arose from one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift that arose from many trespasses brought 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 trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness 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, just as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and 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 just as many were made sinners through the disobedience of one man, so also many will be made righteous through the obedience of one man.
20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
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 just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
