Romans 5
1 Being justified therefore by faith, let us 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 By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons 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 And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And not only so, but we glory also in tribulations: knowing that tribulation produceth patience;
4 And patience trial; and trial hope;
and patience, proof; and proof, hope;
5 And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to 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 why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
For even then when we were without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
7 For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would 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 commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
But God commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead.
9 Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, 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, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by 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 And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by 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 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have 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 until the law sin was in the world; but sin was not imputed, when the law was not.
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law.
14 But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was 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 not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto 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 And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto 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 one man’s offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, 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 Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.
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 as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.
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 Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:
