Romans 5
1 Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards 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 by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in 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 And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;
Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces hope,
5 and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to 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 we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.
For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also 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 commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.
But God demonstrated his own love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.
How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved from wrath through him!
10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] 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 And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.
Not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have 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 until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to 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 but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is [the] figure of him 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 [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto 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 And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto 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 offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one 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 as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.
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 as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted 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 But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
21 in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to 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)
