< Romans 5 >
1 Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 By who also through faith, we haue had this accesse into this grace, wherein we stand, and reioyce vnder ye hope of the glory of God.
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Neither that onely, but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forth patience,
Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 And patience experience, and experience hope,
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5 And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
6 For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly.
For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Doutles one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.
Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10 For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,
For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement.
Not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into ye world, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: in who all men haue sinned.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13 For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, while there is no lawe.
For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that sinned not after the like maner of that transgression of Adam, which was the figure of him that was to come.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.
15 But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!
16 Neither is the gift so, as that which entred in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence vnto condemnation: but the gift is of many offences to iustification.
Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.
17 For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receiue that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousnesse, reigne in life through one, that is, Iesus Christ.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Likewise then as by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one, the benefite abounded toward all men to the iustification of life.
So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19 For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one shall many also be made righteous.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 Moreouer the Law entred thereupon that the offence shoulde abound: neuerthelesse, where sinne abounded, there grace abounded much more:
The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21 That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnesse vnto eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
