Romans 5
1 BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2 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.
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory also in tribulations: knowing that tribulation produceth patience;
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4 and patience, proof; and proof, hope;
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 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.
and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For even then when we were without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous person will any one die: though for a good man perhaps some one might even dare to die.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead.
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Therefore much more, being justified already by his blood, shall we be saved by him from wrath.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.
10 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.
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11 And not so only, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom already we have received reconciliation.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 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.
Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.
13 For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law.
For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
14 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.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.
15 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.
But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
16 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.
The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.
17 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.
For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
18 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.
So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
19 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.
For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
20 But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:
The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,
