< Romans 5 >

1 THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
and perseverance, character, and character, hope.
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Much more then, now having been made righteous by his blood, we will be saved from the 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, we shall be saved by his life.
For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming man.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
