Romans 5
1 Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Since we are 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 him we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the certain hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces endurance.
4 And patience trial; and trial hope;
Endurance produces character, and character produces certain 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 that hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
For while 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.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. That is, perhaps someone would dare to die for a good person.
8 But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
But God proves his own love toward us, because 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.
Much more, then, now that we are justified by his blood, we will be saved by it from the wrath of God.
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 enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, after having been reconciled, will 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.
Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received this 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.
So then, as through one man sin entered into the world, in this way death entered through sin. And death spread to all people, because all 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 there is no accounting for sin 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 ruled from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin like Adam's disobedience, who is a pattern of him who 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 the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the trespass of one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound for the 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.
For the gift is not like the outcome of that one man's sin. The judgment followed one trespass and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and 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, death ruled through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, 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, by one trespass condemnation came to all people, so also one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all people.
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 through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one will the many be made righteous.
20 Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.
But the law came in to increase the trespass. But where sin abounded, grace abounded even more.
21 That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
This happened so that, as sin ruled in death, even so grace might rule through righteousness for everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
