Romans 5
1 Being justified therefore by faith, let us 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 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.
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 so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Not only that, but we also boast in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance,
4 And patience trial; and trial hope;
endurance produces proven character, proven character produces 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 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 why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
For when we were still weak, at the right time Christ died 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.
Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person someone 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 demonstrated his own love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, 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, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by 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 so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by 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 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, 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 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 charged to anyone's account when there is 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just.
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 Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
Now the law came in so that the trespass might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded all the more,
