Romans 5
1 For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, —
2 Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.
Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;
And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.
4 And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:
And, our endurance, a testing, and, our testing, hope,
5 And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:
6 For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.
Seeing that, Christ, we being weak as yet, seasonably, in behalf of such as were ungodly, died.
7 Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.
For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die, —in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die;
8 But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.
But God commendeth his own love unto us in that—we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.
9 Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.
Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.
10 For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;
For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus [Christ], —through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.
12 For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:
For this cause, —just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death, —and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned; —
13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.
For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, —
14 But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.
Yet still, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression of Adam, —who is a type of the Coming One; —
15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.
But, not as the fault, so, [also] the decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded;
16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.
And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was—out of one [fault] into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is—out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.
17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.
For, if, by the fault of the one, death reigned through the one, much more, they who the superabundance of the favour and of [the free-gift of] the righteousness do receive, in life, shall reign through the one, Jesus Christ.
18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.
Hence then, as through one fault, [the sentence was] unto all men unto condemnation, so, also, through one recovery of righteousness, [the decree of favour] is unto all men for righteous acquittal unto life;
19 Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.
For, just as, through the disobedience of the one man, sinners, the many were constituted, so, also, through the obedience of the one, righteous, the many shall be constituted—
20 And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:
Law, however, gained admission, in order that the fault might abound, but, where the sin abounded, the favour greatly superabounded:
21 That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
In order that—just as sin reigned in death, so, also, favour, might reign through righteousness unto life age-abiding, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
