Romans 5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore being 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 also we have admission by faith into this grace in which we stand, and boast 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 glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience,
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
and patience experience,
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 experience hope, and this hope maketh us not ashamed; because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the holy Spirit that is given to us.
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
For when we were yet without strength, Christ died in due season for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
Whereas one would hardly die for a just man, though perhaps for a good man one might dare even to die.
8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were 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!
Much more then, being now 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 when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being 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 only so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by 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.
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, so death passed upon all men, for to that 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 sin was in the world before the law. Now sin is not imputed where 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.
and yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the 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 offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of 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.
For the gift is not as the sentence was by one that sinned; for the sentence is passed from one offence to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to 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 offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even 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.
Therefore as by the offence of one the effect of it was upon all men to condemnation: so also by the righteousness of one, the effect was upon all men to 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 by the obedience of One 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,
Now the law made some entrance, that the offence might appear to abound; but where sin abounded, grace hath superabounded; that as sin had reigned in death,
